Audigy drive on 8.0

I experienced a pleasent surprise yesterday when the 8.0 installation recognised my Audigy soundcard (I was finaly disabled my on-board soundcard which I used to get a sound from my linux box). Does anybody know if there is a way how to use the Audigy Drive (I have the Audigy Platinum with the external drive)? I would pretty much like to use the optical output on the drive, it is very comfortable way to record my MDs... Cheers, Jakub
