PCIe sound card with toslink in+out

Hi,

In short: I need a PCIe sound card, which has toslink/spdif in and out ports, and can use them concurrently. I know it's kind of a shot in the dark, but maybe someone has this kind of card and can test it?

In long: I have a PulseAudio sound server. Multiple devices can connect to it in multiple ways (toslink/spdif is one of them), server is mixing the signals and sends them to a DAC over toslink/spdif. I currently use two(!) AUREON 5.1 PCI, because it's either toslink in, or out, not both. I'm doing an hardware upgrade, and I'd really prefer to use a single PCIe card. AUREON 7.1PCIe looks good on paper, docs suggest indirectly it will work fine, but support told me then don't talk to the filthy Linux users
