Hi,

Does anyone know of a USB sound card compatible with the Raspberry Pi
(i.e. Linux) which can do 5.1 surround sound over S/PDIF?

The reason being I've got an old Blu-ray surround sound system which I'm
no longer using with the TV and fancy using as computer speakers
instead. The only way of driving it is via optical, and all the cheap
USB sound cards I've looked at, such as Star Tech, say optical is
limited to stereo PCM.

I'm after a cheap solution, as if it's more than a reasonable set of 2.1
computer speakers, I may as well ditch the old system as its bulk and
overkill for the small room.
