optical out sound card?

I'd like to replace my works perfectly fine Sound Blaster Audigy pci
sound card with one that has optical out. The optical out needs to be
supported by Alsa and Fedora.

I currently have a semi-cheap 5.1 PC Surround system that is connected
to the Sound Blaster Audigy card using 3 analog inputs. The 5.1 surround
sound is 'simulated'. It's ok... but I want to go pure digital.

I'd like to be able to plug my PC Sound card into my Sony Surround Sound
stereo and listen to PC stuff via my Sony receiver.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a supported card? Cheap is always
nice.

Thanks - jack
