Hi,
You seem to be confusing S/PDIF and TOSLink -
S/PDIF is the standard for transmitting digital audio data
TOSLink is (afaik) the "standard" for the size/shape, etc of the plugs on
optical cables.
S/PDIF can be send down any kind of cable - as long as there's appropriate
electronics at the other end to recieve it :) The board you gave the URL
for should be fine for your purposes.
