Thanks, the U24 shows up as card1, there's more information under
/proc/asound/card1, but it doesn't mean much to me.

arecord -f cd -d hw:1,0 test.wav
arecord -f cd -d hw:1,1 test.wav    - i thought it would select a
different input if there was one

both produce a completey blank wav file. I also tried changing the "PCM
Capture Source" under the U24XL mixer and repeated the above, but still
just a blank wav file.

Does this mean i have an ALSA configuration problem? I'm also begining
to wonder if the U24 actually works recording the S/PDIF.
