I the card above for sale. I has both coax and optical s/pdif inputs
and outputs. M Audio 2448 DIO

I wonder if it has optical and coax interfaces to one logical spdif ?

It does. Just one logical digital input.

The alternatives are both painful: divide the card, and either make it so
that each input tracks its own respective clock signal (which would result
in tracks that don't line up after recording), or else designate one input
as the main one, and then refuse to handle a second signal if it's not in
total sync with the first signal.

There's another alternative: Just run all inputs (after clocking to the
respective DIF signal) through an asynchronous sample rate converter and
feed the resulting bitstreams into a digital mixer. That's what the old
SB Live does, imho, what all card do that have the AC-97 standard implemented.

I believe the original poster was looking for a card with two stereo
digital inputs that could be used simultaneously (for four channels
in). Isn't it an either-one selection (but not both) on your card?
