SPDIF backplate :

 

I'd previously built a PC using the "AOpen AX4SPE Max II" motherboard.

This includes an "EX Sound module" which has S/PDIF optical in and out as well as three jacks and an RCA for surround sound.

 

The connector is 6x2 but the digital side of it (one row of 6) is pin compatible with my DFI Lanparty NFII Ultra B motherboard header. The key pin is correctly positioned and the sixth pin is a second key (unused on the DFI). There is also plenty of physical space around the DFI header to attach it.

 

This link shows the module at the top left:

Couldn't find a link to buy a module, but a somewhat different one is shown here:

Good luck
