I believe you can do this with the Hoontech Soundtrack Digital NX and one
of their more advanced digital I/O brackets.  Check with the ALSA project
to see if digitial input is supported.  The Hoontech card is wonderful.  The
sound quality beats the pants off my SB 64 Gold, for about $45 shipped from
Korea.  I'm not sure what the digital input bracket costs though.  Mine
just came with digital (RCA & Toslink) output.  www.hoontech.com.
