well i was wondering for xfi use, ideally.

either coax with a music, or sell it and get a gamer for toslink, but analogue would be connected to for games so O.o!

I think ill just stick with the music, if it works that is...

The master volume on most sound cards does not effect the level of the optical output.

Yupp, theres a prog which links the two together which is handy but hey, my remote is more handy

Coaxial SPDIF has a higher bandwidth therfore allowing for a higher sample rate.
Coax also has a longer maiximum cable length than optical.

interesting, what sort of bandwidth/samples we talking about?
