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..
