Is there a supported sound card that supports digital outputs? I am trying to build a media pc that is similar to GeeXboX[2]. Pretty much just minimal system that will netboot and get mplayer running, but on an OS I like, OpenBSD :-) However, I want to be able to do AC3 and DTS passthrough and I am not sure if any digital audio out is supported on any cards in OpenBSD.
Looking though the cards listed on i386.html[3] and searching the archives, I didn't find any support for digital outputs. On the SBLive! and Audigy cards that I have, emu(4)[1] claims not to support the S/PDIF. I do see that the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz is supposed to be supported by clcs(4)[4] and clcs(4) doesn't say that the S/PDIF out is not supported so I am not sure. Thank you for any information.
