If I may ask, what is the planned approach going forward? I have seen mention of committing to a final run sooner or opting for another prototype run in hopes of getting S/PDIF support implemented, but there doesn't seem to have been enough discussion on the subject to establish a consensus. So, to be clear about the matter:
- What do we prefer: final cards sooner, or more prototyping to potentially get S/PDIF support (which may still not be viable)?
- If we want S/PDIF support, how much more will it cost, and who is willing to pay?
Alternatively, is jumping to production with the serial header there, but potentially unused, not a possibility?
EDIT: These are, presumably, still questions for those who contributed previously, unless something has changed.
EDIT 2: To answer my own questions, I have no use for S/PDIF support, nor any way to test it. Furthermore, I have no budget for either option at the moment, so I will let the rest of you discuss and decide.
