For my Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard, you indicate: "use a SPDIF bracket"

Is this something additional I need to purchase?
Do I have to go through ASUS to get it?

I was just leafing through the user manual on the mobo and it has the
normal coloured output lines for line in, line out and mic.    It then
says in 6 speaker configuration:
Line In  -> Surround out
Line Out -> Front Speaker out
Mic -> Center / Bass

Do I buy a special cable that takes these 3 separate lines and
combines them into a coaxial output that my receiver is expecting?

TIA,
Dave
