[PlanetCCRMA] MAudio - the same wav in Windows and Linux sound different

Well, I'm questioning this from theory rather than experience, as I haven't
actually tried the Delta 1010 I've got with Linux. The 66 I had worked
wonderfully with it, though - to the point that I seriously question any
major sound issues (I didn't take any scopes to the stuff, but my Tannoys
and my ears were very pleased.). At any rate, I'd love some clarification on
this:
My understanding of the manual is that the Deemphasis is simply a status
bit, used to tell devices further down the spdif chain that signal has had
preemphasis applied, and should be decoded by them. I don't think the
M-Audio cards actually apply any pre-emphasis themselves - they simply offer
the ability to mark a stream as encoded.
What are you running your spdif into? Perhaps you're hearing a difference in
its decoding/converting quality based on its reaction to different emphasis
flags in the streams rather than any changes occuring within the box/m-audio
card.

What values are available?
How does it sound different?
Looking forward to clarification. Thanks for bringing this up!
