It's pretty cool! I never thought I'd use it until I got a receiver that got optical in, and it's a nice solution for routing internet and computer music to home stereo - sounds really good, actually :-) Looks like Gentoo has it together for making use of the digital port without having to doctor any config files or module loading options for Intel HDA, other than emerging alsa-plugins and making sure alsamixer has all the relevant ports unmuted.
