that's got SPDIF input, but it's inside the case, not an external connector, and I've already got that -- in fact I think the integrated audio on my m/b is exactly the same as that stand-alone card

I have a Soyo motherboard with a C-Media chip, and it came with a tiny card with S/PDIF in/out (both optical and coax) that plugs into the motherboard. It's short; it doesn't reach the PCI slot.
If you don't have that option, then any soundcard with a S/PDIF in should work. The cheapest one I found at newegg.com was
this Turtle Beach -- $50 for the retail version ($2 less for OEM).
