Ok; This makes sense. And as I read my motherboard manual, I see
that the spdif _is_ only an output.
I think I will get the Audiophile 2496 instead. Thanks.

way to sync it to an external source if needed. - If you want spdif
(either from a delta or from your motherboard) _and_ the anlog io from
your delta at the same time, you have find a way to sync the clocks.
And then its easier to just buy the delta66. Or the 1010 to get more
io...
