as far as i know, DRM does not impede the RCA lyra device i mentioned
elsewhere. in addition to that, linksys has put out this product:

the reason DRM doesn't work on these, is that it places the sound card
on the OTHER end of the equation... this is just going to keep going
on, DRM is a dumb idea whose time will end as solutions defeat it.
personally, i wonder what SB will do to keep pace with these DRM
defeaters.
Out-feature them. These are generally referred to a Very Long Cable Emulators. For certain applications they're fine, but it ain't the same thing.
to more specifically answer your Q, i don't know how anyone can
successfully fully answer and meet the concerns of someone who is
unreasonable.

i don't know what the split scanner is or does, but sure, i have no
problem with whatever method to feed a burner or whatever locally.
The split-scanner is in 6.5, it's a separate process to handle scanning. At the very least it is cool because it allows the CPU to multitask, so scanning doesn't murderize streaming and web UI... at the best, it should someday allow people with NAS devices to do the scanning on a more powerful computer.
