Headroom

Got a question for you, When I plug my guitar into the line in of my cheap designed for games soundcard, I have to pull the fader(in the windows volume control-recording panel) damn near all the way down. The music still comes back at a decent level, comparable to an mp3 I have stored on the hard disk. But I was wondering if this was normal.

S/PDIF

Greetings,

Alot of audio interfaces come with 2 S/PDIF interfaces these days but for the life of me I have never heard of a practical application for them...

If you have an ADAT interface, which can get you 8 channels of I/O from your converters, what would you use S/PDIF with? Its only 2 stereo channels, so in terms of raw channels a second ADAT port would work better..
