recommend a sound card WITH OPTICAL OUT ?

Can somone recommend something decent that has an optical out (toslink if poss) ?

I don't do any audio editing or stuff - the main reason is the optical out, but it would be nice if it could take any burden away from the CPU? (Don't know if the likes of winamp use DirectSound ?)

Price wise, I suppose anything up to £60 ?

This?
Trust 5.1 Surround Sound Card SC-5250 with Optical - AWD-IT.CO.UK

A lot of the large companies charge silly prices just to have a toslink, i don't use a soundcard instead i use the toslink on my motherboard, works a treat.
