But hhe trick can be done with the ES1373 chip, which in the UK is found on the Creative Labs SoundBlaster PCI 16 I've seen code in the linux driver, and seen hacks for the Windows driver, to set the chip up so digital audio comes out of one of the sockets on the card. So, if someone (not me) wanted to, they could take the ideas from the linux driver and elsewhere on the internet and modify our FreeBSD driver to do this.
