Creative doubles their price of the Live! cards in the platinum and full versions over the MP3+ or gamer versions for what seems to be just the addition of some off board connectors. The only thing really added is the digital S/PDIF input. But is the digital CD audio input capable of recording the card's digital S/PDIF output?
 
Unless Creative has taken it off the market, the regular SB Live (not the value) has SPDIF in and out on a little daughter board that comes with the card. I have seen this card in the last two months for not much more than the MP3 and Xgamer versions.

The digital CD input is something internal on the card, it uses something just like one of those little audio cables that runs inside your PC from the CD drive to the soundcard. I seriously doubt if you can use this as an SPDIF input, but I'm not sure.

By the way, out of curiosity, why would you want to route the digital output of the card back into itself?
