That was my original thought as well. But, there isn't an S/PDIF output on the board. Either way, I'm probably not going to get Linux to output 5.1 audio on that board.

The onboard audio says it'll support 6 channel audio, via an "external

I think that means there is a mixer setting that switches between using
the Microphone and Line In ports for Center and Rear channels
respectively.  That's how it seems to work on most of the cards I've
come across.

I thought an external codec meant it would do passthrough to an
external decoder, like Dolby or something. I don't think all digital
spdif outputs support passthrough, I would guess that is what "external
codec" implies.
