Re: [Alsa-user] OT: Recommendations for sound recording with SPDIF
Greetings, If you can find one you like with a coaxial sp/dif input (or even just a sp/dif in header), it is a small matter to convert optical to coaxial. If you're handy with soldering, you basically need a photo transistor (toslink receiver) and a few other components ... or if you prefer a finished product, toslink to coax converters are normally around $20, even cheaper if you shop I bit ... I think I paid around $15 for mine, but it's the other way around, coax to toslink.

Whoa! I didn't even realize that existed. Found one at http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/audio_toslink_adapters.html . That's great. Hopefully I can record through both my optical and coaxial at the same time on the SB Audigy2. That'll be the end of the research I need to complete.

Hi, I am not sure, but AFAIK Optical and coaxial input has one shared input to DSP and I am not sure, if they are independent.

Re: [Alsa-user] OT: Recommendations for sound recording with SPDIF
I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do that.. for cards that have both options, they just have a Toslink to Coax converter built on the card, and feed the coax signal into the dsp. you could probably have both sources connected, but not actually use them at the same time.
