Unfortunately it has a SAA7210 as its decoder. The chip has separate outputs for the decoded digital audio stream, the subcodes, and the like. Does anybody out there have any idea on how difficult it would be to recombine everything into a standard digital output stream. Thanks, Jim Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
