Start with:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt

On my new install using 2.6.28-gentoo-r1, alsa kernel, sound as modules 
(recommended), snd_intel_hda, ~x86, I have both analog and SPDI/F 
working, but the kernel is not recognizing HDMI device.

In a nut shell,

* enable alsa in the kernel
* enable as modules device drivers/sound card support/...
* do not install alsa-drivers.
* emerge alsa-utils
* follow the alsa-guide
* if digital device not recognized, specify option name from 
ALSA-Configuration.txt

HTH,
Roy
