the hammerfall dsp pcmcia card doesn't exist yet. when it does, rme
will tell me how to write the driver for it for ALSA (they say, anyway).
in the meantime, you might look at the VXpocket, but i'm not sure if
it has s/pdif. on the other hand, you're out of luck on linux drivers
there too.
the basic message: you can't do it with linux. and you can't do it
under any other OS without spending between $500 and $1000 on a pcmcia
card.
ps. i don't suppose that "ms. massalin" is related to henry "not one
instruction too many" massalin, by any chance ?
