Actually, that's not what he's talking about.  I just bought a CD player
with a digital output, and I'm trying to find what the format of the
digital data coming out of the thing is.  The bandwidth is there on the
DSP serial ports brought to the back of the machine to stuff it in, and
I intend to do just that.  Does anyone have any leads on what that
format is?
