And real S/PDIF inputs probably are all over the map ...

The HDA specification describes source synchronous streams, but does
not mandate them.

Apparently, the ALC886 does not support source synchronous streams.
A quick Google search shows only the WM8850 (which also has a real
sample rate converter).
