Must admit I think this would be a distraction for this effort. It will require significant additional software as LMS and the current players don't support it. At present I'm afraid I would like to concentrate on getting good/execellent quality two channel audio working for as many people as possible. This is not to say that we couldn't do something to create a multi-channel device, but that I don't think we should make it a goal of our initial hardware and software scope. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
