Doesn't the C-Media 8338/8738 ALSA driver support digital output?  I've got
such a card, but haven't tried it with ALSA... these boards offer 24-bit
perfect S/PDIF for a limited number of rates... 8338 officially only 44.1...
8738 can handle 44.1 and 48.

Wouldn't touch a YMF744 with a large pole.  I have the NX from Hoontech that
Dan Hollis talks about, and the normal quality resampling (as far as the
Win9x drivers go) is a bad, bad joke.  High quality mode is passable, but I
suspect this is done in software.
