That is correct.

It'd be most useful to improve analogue out sound from the PC (using the G9 Multi output Cable).

Another option that I just got going is the Asus Xonar DGX. It's a low profile PCIe card that fits well in an HP Microserver, and spits Dolby Digital and DTS out the optical output to my amp.

I note that it did require compiling the very latest version of ALSA to get it going under Ubuntu/XBMC.
