Use Optical ADATs as S/PDIF
Here you can set the format of the optical digital input/output socket. It can either be an ADAT stream or an S/PDIF stream. (Useful
for those who have S/PDIF equipment that only has an optical connector.) Note that the audio sent to the optical S/PDIF output is
always exactly the same as the audio sent to the RCA output.
