I've got two of these on my fast track ultra. I want to use them as trigger inputs so quality doesn't matter. How can I go about using them?
Cheapest way to utilize spdif inputs?

S/PDIF is a digital format, so you'd have to run the triggers into an A/D converter and then digital into the S/PDIF jacks. So basically you can't really do it cheaply.

RCA style jack S/Pdif is also limited to 2 in and 2 out (I've never witnessed more).
But the cheapest way I can think of is the way I went. Used Toneport UX2.

I've never fully understood the S/PDIF thing. The Profire 2626 has the crazy cable with RCA, MIDI, and I think something else? Wiki says it's for sending compressed signals and whatnot, but I just never fully understood this.

SPDIF is a digital format. 2 channels over one cable. Typically at 44.1khz or 48khz and using an rca connector.

Yeah I have a toneport UX2 going into the S/PDIF input on my profire 2626. I get 2 more channels of inputs with it (although they are shitty).
I have to set the clock to the toneport (confusing to some, but no big deal in terms of quality) and I'm limited to 48K if I do. Not that this matter I just roll out 44.1 all the time.
