I'm pretty sure that the S/P DIF standard defines BOTH an
electrical and an optical format. TOSlink is just a name for the
optical format of the S/P DIF standard if I understand it correctly.

Again, this is probably an easy conversion because both the
digital coax and the TOSlink are based on the same S/P DIF protocol.
