Thank you for your reply.
I was about to ask if i can (at least) monitor the analog line-in input via the spdif output, while listening to any streams from the computer... then i noticed that "There is no plugin that allows to also open a capture device when an application accesses a playback device".
But i fail to understand if this is related to the specific card only. In the past and M-Audio Delta 66 was doing this (that is, monitor either the analog or digital inputs in real time), and also a Lynx L22 was doing it (via OSS). Should i accept that the manufacturers of this specific card never thought that one would need to actually monitor the inputs? After all, what are inputs for?
Please clarify

output, but this won't allow any sounds from the computer to get
through.
The "Digital Input Monitor" control allows you to mix the S/PDIF input
into the sound going to the analog front outputs. In theory, the front
outputs are duplicated to the digital output as long as there isn't a
separate stream being played on the digital output device, so this
might be what you want (but I'm not sure if this duplication also
applies to the monitored sound).

application accesses a playback device.
