Indeed, for S/PDIF on A64 CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_SPDIF is needed.
However AFAICS debian ships no sun50i-a64 devicetrees where S/PDIF is
enabled. You would need a custom DT or an overlay, to make the
debian kernel actually load the module.
BTW there have been two uploads of linux 5.0 to experimental since this
bug was opened. Would be nice if somebody could address this for the
next upload.
