After some research, I find that these formats exist: Let me guess, even the ones with 8 speakers only do left-right and front-back, not up-down? If you're going to bother with 8 channels you should have up-down. These days I could get by with one channel as long as it was reliable and CD quality or better.

The Ethervideo box doesn't know or care what the source is. It just plays what you send it. No different than an analog TV or stereo. > 96K digital audio output from copy protected disks is not allowed. Enforcing that sort of insanity is a job for something upstream. _______________________________________________ Open-hardware-ethervideo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-hardware-ethervideo
