On the topic of 32/64-bit hardware discussed in another thread, I'm taking a new look at the $100 DZ77SL mobo from Intel, tricked out to use anything from a Core i3 to an i7 processor and able to output TEN channels of audio.
I will concede it's probably not ultra-audiophile quality like you would get from an ASI card, but for budget low-power operations (like someone I know...harrumph...) it's likely "good enough for jazz". Is it possible this could at last be a self-contained multi-output solution for RD users to have separate feeds for dedicated audio tasks; i.e, one stereo pair for Main Log Program, one pair for RDPanel and another for CartSlot, a single line for Cue, etc? Can we now use basic commodity hardware to have separate outputs for separate faders? In looking over the very confusing hi-def audio specs from Intel, I get the feeling it needs to see synchronized audio - as what you might get from a Surround Sound stream consisting of interlinked audio files that have to be read all at once. If someone is familiar with this board *or* this technology, chime in: Can I configure RD to use a board such as this for multiple separate audio outputs? Thanks for the info. -AP _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
