Most likely the only thing you need to know is not to plug anything into
the coax input if you're using the optical input and vice versa.  They 
are usually wired together inside, so you don't have to change any 
settings. That's how my DiO 2448 does it anyway.  The 8738 chip just has
one S/PDIF input pin and doesn't know where the signal came from.

Alternatively there will be a switch or jumper on the Zoltrix card to
select S/PDIF source.
