It is to specify which SPDIF output the AC3 signal is passed to. The digital output (on the rear of the card) on many models has 3 SPDIF outputs (4 pin mini-jack), and there also is the headers on some card models that also gives you access to the additional SPDIF outputs.

Also, I've read that the CD-SPDIF cable is not required if digital CD=Audio is enabled in device manager for the player. Yes?
Right, digital audio extraction can be used instead of the cable.
