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..

M-Audio SP5B monitors

My woofer blew out on my other set of monitors and if i turn them up past 1/3 way, i get nothing but farting noises. After calling tech support and finding out it's going to be a while before i get them fixed, i decided that i'd go to the local music superstore and see if i can find a small pair of monitors that can get me through this time.
