Focusrite Interface Series and Model

Series: Scarlett 3rd Gen
Model: 18i20

Issue Description

Focusrite Control has the ability to set the "Digital I/O Mode" of the interface, which basically allows to switch the optical in/out format from ADAT to S/PDIF. Would it be possible to implement this functionality?

For reference, here's the screenshot from the manual:

Hi @napaalm,

I'm pleased to be able to report that this functionality is already implemented, although not in any released version yet.

To try it out now:

Install Linux kernel 6.10 or use the backported driver
Build alsa-scarlett-gui from the master branch

Feedback would be very welcome!

Regards, Geoffrey.
