you can send a digital audio signal over CAT5, but the D/A at the other end will be using a protocol that you almost certainly cannot implement in software. think about it: soundcards which send a digital signal out to the world for subsequent conversion to analog have *hardware* to convert the sample stream into a bit pattern on the wire. --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-dev
