I think I ought to point out that the US version of the Live! Platinum
*doesn't* have the optical i/o for some reason. Nothing's in it's place -
there's just blank space on the front panel where it should go.
Something to check before you buy Jeff - an alternative might be a
combination of Soundblaster Live! and one of Hoontech's products
http://www.hoontech.com ).
