Seconded, though I had to buy OSS drivers for it, and the SP/DIF input 
only worked after a long exchange with the developers during which they
sent me several updated versions till it behaved. Even then I think it
will only work at 44.1kHz but that's all I needed.

Can anyone confirm (or otherwise) that the ALSA drivers that come with 
Debian 3.0 will support SP/DIF input on the DiO 2448?

The 2496 seems to be a better card generally - despite the only apparent
difference of having a higher sampling rate, in fact it has a completely
different chip and better software support for more platforms.
