I use following motherboard (AMD based though).
I too use SPDIF, I installed linux driver from Realtek for my Realtek ALC889A
audio chip on the board. So my SPDIF is working great with my receiver using
Fedora 9 and 8.
GIGABYTE
GA-MA69GM-S2H AM2 AMD 690G HDMI Micro ATX
Fedora 9 has some issue i.e. I have hard time to switch on the SPDIF.
I end up adding following line in /etc/rc.local
"/usr/bin/amixer set IEC958 unmute"
So I guess
Realtek ALC889A or similar model from Realtek based any mother should be fine
for SPDIF(since Realtek seems to understand Linux importance ).

I just restarted the freevo box to try find its motherboard number.
It's a ASUS V-series and my only linux trouble was the gigabit lan so I added
an ethernet card.
the splash screen has no id, the motherboard book doesn't help
and i'm not opening the case to find it on the board!
