The one I have is a Zoltrix Nightingale Pro6 which has the digital I/O 
(S/PDIF coax and TOSLINK) on a separate sister card.

I agree it's amazing that the driver still works (although the box in 
question still runs Debian Squeeze so I haven't kept up to date with 
anything that's happened since then).

I have a patch that fixes some issue with using the S/PDIF port for 
digital stereo I/O, but I fear it is not mergable as I think it would 
break applications which use the upsteam version.

(Getting far off OPL3 land here. Sorry. I've never used the OPL3 synth in 
the chip).
