I have never used digital I/O's on the SBlive myself but I know for a
fact that it's no easy job. There's been loads of messages related to
that topic on alsa-user, I suggest you spend a while looking through
the archive, I think you could find a lot of useful info related to
SBlive and digital I/O:

If all else fails you can mail on alsa-user, I'm sure they'll have all
the answers. :)
