I need Sound Card w/ SPDIF-IN

I need to find a sound card that does this.

I have a PS3 optical out connects to sound card..so my computer speakers can output what ps3 outs.

And I'm not looking to spend $250 on that x-fi elite either. If possible, I would like to avoid creative all together. The cheaper the better.

EDIT:
I grabbed a turtle beach Montego DDL. I got spdif-in-to-analog speaker to work, but only in 2.1 mode. anyone have any ideas on any software decoders?

 
I don't know what the PS3 actually puts into the optical s/pdif.

If Creative is out of the question: Terratec? Their Aureon 5.1 Fun is dirt cheap and has optical s/pdif i/o.

replied to you in the other thread you started on this. Decoding from PS3 over digital in might be hard - do not think that if optical in is on the card it will automatically decode audio from PS3. I know that sucks, probably the way Sony gets some money from licensing equipment made for PS3, dunno.
If you are on XP you can get some 2nd hand Audigy 2 Platinum off ebay and this should serve you well and will still be cheaper then Auzentech that I mentioned in the other post.
Good Luck
