Is there any documentation about that topic available? I only found some
register descriptions, and used them (with some trial and error) to
enable s/pdif in and out. It's clearly an experimental feature.
It should not be a big problem to enable s/pdif only if compatible parameters
are used, with documentation available.
But I do have problems with lost or modified data - for testing purposes
I connected s/pdif out back to in, and piped a textfile through it (turn
your stereo off before you try this ;-) )
Some months ago I did an interesting observation: Corruptions were worse on
an idle system! As soon as I started to play music on a second sound card,
I saw nearly no lost bytes any more.
I'd really like to hear if other people have similar problems. Perhaps I just
got a bad sound card?
