[PlanetCCRMA] External Sound Card

[John Dey]

I am looking for a external sound card that has spdif (7.1) 
functioning.  The driver Soundblaster nx usb seems like it is under 
active development.  The alsa documentation page says that spdif is not 
working.  Is the documentation page out of date or is someone working 
on that capability?  If spdif capability is not in the near future, can 
someone suggest a sound device (spdif capable) that I could look at.  
Thanks.

John
