Looking for S/PDIF software specs

I want to find the exact specs of the S/PDIF interface, down to the timing, the bits and bytes. I could find info on the MIDI interface but not S/PDIF. Basically I want to know what the signal is made of and how to handle it. Do any of you guys know where I can find a whitepaper or something on it?
 
Okay I'm confident I understand the protocol and what to do with it. The problem I'm having is making something that can recognize the asynchronous signal. I thought about sampling the signal at 5mhz or something and putting it through a shift register and logic gates, I have no better way. I want something that will clock every bit and every word. Any ideas?
