A little bit wrong question. Better is: Does ALSA support some soundcard
which have digital i/o input? Answer: No, it doesn't at this time.

To high resolution - I still don't know in which format (which stream) is
needed to send to these DSP/digital outputs or read from DSP/ditial input.
Can someone anwer this?
