All data on CD is in digital form,  series of pits (holes) interrupted 
by non pit aka "high planes" and correspinding to "0"  
(zero) or 1 
(one).  It are actually  "the slopes" between deep and high that trigger 
the series "0" or  "1".

Applies to Audio and video as well, even  when the recording had been 
made in analogue form  (older recording).

So all output coming from a CD, DVD etc is digital. And at a certain 
stage it has to be converted to analogue again (otherwise we wouldn't 
hear a damn thinh of course).

So when the mobo (and player) have a way to send the digaital info 
trough sata cable and trough the mobo to the sound card, you'll have 
sound too.

I'm a bit surprised eCS supports already this method.
