The simpler the better. I don't care how little is installed as long as I can get digital output, so far no go, everything looks as if it should be working, just no sound :( I'd love to know how to test spdiff out as simply as possible, if I can bypass aplay then so much the better! Can I stream a 48KHz file straight to spdiff out?
