Thanks for the reply.
I ended up getting an Asus Xonar DX card which has an SPDIF output (my X1200 didn't).
One thing I found was that after I built the latest alsa drivers and installed the card, I needed to add my account to the 'audio' group in /etc/group in order for 'aplay -l' to indicate that there were any soundcards.
