Did you hear anything while playing it? Any noise? Did you player prints
anything? Did player progress bar is moving? How do you run your player
and what is it? Did your receiver detects some data stream and which
type (PCM/data)?
Also try to make sure that Soft PCM vol will not touch binary data
stream - try to set both pcm and vol controls in mixer2 to 100.

I think they won't. GPIO usually controls analogs parts, while
device=SPDIF-out I think is already set in your case.
