Question by crashoften: What sound cards are good for digital output to receivers?

I am planning on building a Home Theater PC. I want as few cables as possible cluttering up the back of my components and want to go all digital. What sound cards have digital outs so I can run a sole digital output connection (optical, coaxial) to a digital input on my receiver.

My sound blaster Audigy has a digital output. My Audigy, is an external USB device, howver, there are PCI cards available as well. I am assuming the cards will have the same output as the external device.
