Looks like you'd need an ADC with USB output, or add an interface card to accept S/PDIF via coax or optical In both cases, it's basically a bit-bucket. Personally, I'd rather spend ~$400 on a MT2496 + CF card for bit-bucket usage.
if you look under the specs, you'll see that it has both a headphone jack and a microphone jack ::)
