Not optimal as per your ideals but I use one of these between a Gentoo
desktop and our home theater receiver. (USB to TOS Link)

I've never tried the spdif in.
The unit has A/D's and D/A's in it but I've never used them. Cost my
about $30 a couple of years ago. Works great except ALSA doesn't
control the lights on it correctly and they blink on and off at weird
times.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi,
Does anyone know of any cheap and small S/PDIF i/o (toslink or coax)
interfaces which work on a laptop? USB, PCMCIA, Expresscard, firewire,
whatever. Size is what really matters, not how it's connected.
Oh, and it should also work in Linux. ;)
My ideal would be a USB cable with two coaxial SPDIF connectors on the other
end.
All I really would need is something which takes in two channels of
bit-perfect 24-bit digital audio (192k is not needed) and outputs two
channels through spdif. A headphone / line output would be a nice bonus but
not required.
