It looked so much like a RCA jack!

In the context of a piece of pro audio gear, that's true. The fact that it
was labeled as digital audio had a lot to do with my conclusion.

I wouldn't recommend that you conclude that all yellow RCA jacks, no matter
how they are labeled, are digital coaxial audio outputs.

As others have pointed out, the likely use of a yellow RCA jack depends on
the type of equipment. On the back of a VCR a yellow RCA jack  is far, far
more likely to be a video jack. But it won't be labeled as being digital
audio.

> I NEVER knew that.

I've worked with a fair amount of gear over the years, both digital audio
and otherwise. But really, the fact that it was a  Yellow RCA jack that was
labeled as digital audio made it a slam dunk.
