I doesn't know if this theme is allready discuss in the ml but is it posible to implement an ac-3 live support? Someone tells me there are three posible ways to implement them. One is timeshifting. I think it would work only with two card or to pack the ac-3 package into a PCM package or to change the MPEG firmware. Is it posible to change the the firmware. I doesn't know it realy but they change the firmware of the d-box I to implement the ac-3 support on this box.
