Update on full-bitrate DTS: the latest 'nightly build'
(http://www.slimdevices.com/dev_nightly.html) of SlimServer 6.2.2 (as
of 2005-02-22) contains a new firmware version, v35.  This contains
improved FLAC support, and it seems to have addressed the problem we've
seen with full-bitrate DTS files.

I carried out a brief test earlier: I was able to listen to a Porcupine
Tree song in DTS with no skipping, with the FLAC being decoded natively
on the SB2.  (Since the PT albums were the reason I started the
spdifconvert project, I'm pretty chuffed!)

I'll update the guide accordingly; the next step is (as was suggested
earlier) to get this information into the Wiki, now that everything
seems to be supported.  And I'd still like to get this running for SB1
users, so I'll try to find out how to tweak the data stream to do
that.

Many thanks to the lovely person at SlimDevices who implemented the
FLAC decoding improvements!
