he is using the fact that the WRT has a serial port. he writes the sample data to the serial port, which is connected to a PIC that in turn has a speaker wired up to it. he is not doing real D/A conversion in the traditional sense. i do not believe that you will not be able to find a D/A converter that speaks a protocol that you can implement in software. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-dev
