I've had a horrible time finding onboard audio that has *optical* SPDIF as
well as the included headers to use it.  Lots say SPDIF and 5.1 and 7.1 and
all that but lack the actual ports to use it and maybe even decent drivers
to go with.  I've had far more luck (frontend wise) using PCI audio based on
the chipset used in the Turtle Beach Rivera.
