My SBLive MP3+ soundcard has a 1/8" digital output jack.  I think it's
supposed to be capable of outputting two S/PDIF digital audio streams,
one for the front speakers stereo pair and the other for the rear.  Now
I'd like to make an S/PDIF Y-cable (one 1/8" to two RCA
configuration).  So I need a 1/8" TRS miniplug, right?  But I'm not
sure where the front and the rear S/PDIF signals are supposed to go on
the miniplug.  I suppose the front S/PDIF goes to the Tip, the rear
S/PDIF goes to the Ring, and the Sleeve is for shielding.  Assuming
that's correct, I figured out the following wiring diagram for the
S/PDIF Y-cable:

1/8" Miniplug           Front RCA

   Tm -------------------- Tf                Rear RCA

   Rm ---------------------------------------- Tr

   Sm -------------------- Sf
       \
       --------------------------------------- Sr

Where:  Tm, Rm, Sm are the Tip, Ring and Sleeve of the 1/8" miniplug;
Tf and Sf are the Tip and Sleeve of the Front RCA;  Tr and Sr are the
Tip and Sleeve of the Rear RCA.

In the above, Sm is connected to both Sf and Sr, i.e., one shield
connector is shared by two shield wires.

Could anyone please tell me if my assumptions are correct and the above
diagram will work?

Thanks in advance,

Michael
