S/PDIF mixdown

[mr. torture]

I have a S/PDIF stereo out on my workstation. I want to send my mixdown to an external cd burner's S/PDIF input (alesis masterlink).
Do I have to do anything special? Or will it record like sending an analog signal to a tape deck?
Thanks!

It's pretty simple. Just use a 75 ohm RCA cable and make sure everything is set for the same sample rate and bit depth.
