  Thanks for that!

  Dual booting here. The Mac constantly has the red optical light turned on under Linux. Temperature control can be a little off too. It works, but not seamlessly.

    You can turn the red light off with alsamixer (find the SPDIF column and hit M to mute, as I recall). There must also be a way to automate this on boot, though I don't know it off the top of my head.

      Alsa settings can be saved using `sudo alsactl store`; most distros have their startup scripts configured to load up the generated config file when they start.
