Hi!

 Does the sound blaster live value have a optical digital out?
No, but you can make one! :)

A 220ohm resistor, red diode and a piece of cd-in cable is needed.
you put the resistor between the diode and spdif-in's GND and voilla! It
works perfectly for me!
The diode has to be with a wavelenght of about 660nm (bright, pure red).
Well, just look at the minidisc.org page, the article is "Super cheap
TOSLINK transmitter".
I don't take the responsibility...

 But, if I'm on netmeeting and turn the volume for the show down,
 could I keep recording, so I can record the whole show including
 the part where I'd be on? There's this show I listen to sometimes
 that takes calls on netmeeting, and I'd like to be able to record
 it, and be able to participate in it.

Hmm, sounds like it's going to be complicated:
Although I don't know NetMeeting, I believe it requires your part of
the communication to be recorded to the computer. To do this, you have
to set the recording setting from "what you hear" to "microphone" or
you will be recording your voice plus the continuing show and send it
to them, which is probably not what you want to do...

Another problem could arise because you would then be recording to two
applications at the same time (your own recording plus the NetMeeting
recording). I have not tried it, but the SBLive might not be able to
do this...

 Any way to do it? If I bought a minidisc recorder, would that help any?
Well, you could record to minidisc :-)

 I was thinking that thing mentioned on the list about the idea of
 playing a recording into a remote would be good, to have it d
 things when I want to, how does it work? When you play it, how does
 the minidisc recorder know what to do with the other devices at the
 time? Like, if I recorded various shows from satellite or something,
 would I be able to have the computer or other source turn on and turn
 down the program during the commercial break and come back on when
 it's done, possibly putting music in between, or just pausing the
 minidisc so I can have enough space to record without having to
 do anything with it?

Hmm, can't comment on this...

Bye,

Oh, if I used what you hear, the show would hear me in an echoed format?
That's the trouble there, if I switch it to microphone, then I don't get
the other person's side recorded with it, and if two recording events at a
time can't work, then it won't work either.

You cannot record from several sources at one time.
However, there is a setting called "what you hear" for recording,
which will record anything you can hear over the speakers.
So it is possible to enable both wave playback and the mike for
playing, and then recording it.

 Does the sound blaster live value have a optical digital out?

no. (short answer)

The later (MP3+, X-Gamer, 1024 depending on region) versions have a
non-standard electrical digital out (which could be converted to optical),
or you can buy a Hoontech bracket that adds optical ports
 http://www.hoontech.com ) for around $20. I believe Creative offered an
official optical I/O upgrade at some point as well, at a much higher price
than the Hoontech one.
