[mythtv-users] Cheap card with spdif out supported by alsa?

[Brandon Beattie]

I recommend the nightengale or audio excel - theater excel.  Both use
the cmi 8738 which is well supported.  5 minutes to install the card and
have DTS/dd sound working, including boot.  Basically just pops in,
cards are about $23+ in the US.  I use an audioexcel card.
