i don't have an spdif source, so i can't test,
but it used to work on my
sblive when i set the capture flag in alsamixer on "IEC958 Coaxial"

Yes, you are right, this works (and is not possible using alsamixergui)
- thank you! *But* it definitely results in a DA-AD conversion because
- I can record in arbitrary sampling rates without problems
- When I stop the tape the input level remains about -70 dB
Is this a particular weakness of the SB live? What card supports exact
recording from SPDIF-in?
