There is a big difference and I can't see where ADAT would be used in HTPC.. ADAT is primarily used for professional multitrack audio and is common on mid to high end audio devices (like RME and such) designed for multitrack recording functions from digital mizers and high end ADC's (like apogee) whereas home theatre uses S/Pdif optical i/o (it does use the same sort of cable and plug but is a very different format)
I think you will find it probably works for DTS or Dolby Digital but not likely for ADAT.. still would be best to get confirmation.

Does the ADAT output of intel motherboard DP35DP work under linux in
your experience ?
(or DG33TL or other boards from media or extreme intel previous or
current series with IDT/sigmatel STAC927x codec).
Does the STAC927x sigmatel hda codec look like it support their ADAT
output feature ?
here the alsa driver links:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.26.5/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.26.5/sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c
here is the codec datasheet link :
www1.idt.com/products/files/17122877/STAC927x-DS-0-7_IDT.pdf
the sigmatel STAC9271 datasheet and IDT STAC9274 advertise ADAT output
feature.
DP35DP and other intel boards are proven to have the ADAT output working
under windows.
Is it working in Alsa ? Many HTPC users would love that... I would !
Anybody from intel or IDT/sigmatel to confirm (by checking the sigmatel
STAC927x hda codec driver) that it will work ?
I want these intel motherboards only for this ADAT output feature and I
am a linux only user so I would like to know before buying...
I want to be sure someone would make the necessary changes to the hda
sigmatel codec alsa driver so it would work.
Thank you everybody
