[mythtv-users] advice on sound card S/PDIF

[Nicola Bortolotti]

What do you think about
Sound Card PCI 5.1 Optical Out S/PDIF RF-51SDCD NEW?
Is this card linux supported? I ask the customer about shipping cost to Italy...
Regards,

The only thing worth noting is that you have to create a cable with a RCA connector on one end (to plug in the AV receiver) and a mono 3.5mm jack plug on the other end to plug in the soundcard.
