As an experiment I just hooked a red LED to that digital audio output on the
back of my CDROM, placed the fiber optic cable in front of it and found that
it recorded the cd audio... I didn't know that it would do that, cool!

Under Linux, you're probably better off with the AWE64
rather than the Aureal card, simply because of poor driver
support.  The SB Live! S/PDIF is well supported under Linux,

I guess not that it really matters but how would the Aureal card stand up to
my AWE64 ?

General nanosystems, and also CompUSA have the aureal vortex
SuperQuad.. which has optical output.. I havn't tried mine in linux
yet.. but I'm going to be replacing win95 as soon as the Hollywood+ drive
improves to the point of usability

Thank You,
