My apologies, it's a bad idea, now I notice that all cheaper semi-professional USB devices around 300,- € only provide Coaxial S/PDIF input and output, the only exception seems to be Behringer, providing at least one device for around 200,- € with optical ADAT IOs. The user manual mentions that this Behringer device's ADAT IOs also could be used as optical S/PDIF IOs (not all devices with ADAT IOs allow usage of those IOs as S/PDIF IOs). While I suspect (I don't know) that the Behringer device works as good as devices from other vendors with Linux, I've got concerns regarding durability, so I advice against Behringer. There are second hand semi-professional PCI cards for less than 50,-€ available, providing optical S/PDIF, but this doesn't help you, if you need USB. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
