No problem. Since you probabaly have to do so much manipulation of the MPEG stream (like audio transcoding) in user software, it may be best to start with a PS from the hardware, estraxt the PES's and work from there to build up a TS to meet your needs. In that case either a CX23416 or CX23418 base board may meet your needs. Conexant did ask if I could add an AC-3 support in the linux cx18 driver, which I did; but the current firmware doesn't support it. Maybe one day there will be an updated firmware that supports AC-3, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
