Here is an digital audio project that uses S/PDIF.
“Here’s a very trivial S/PDIF transmitter hack for portable MiniDiscs and other digital audio devices lacking S/PDIF output.
The s/pdif transmitter runs from +5V, 44kHz 16bit input at 384xfs, is set to consumer mode output, and doesn’t transmit any COPY bit (copyright protection disabled). The board can be connected directly to a PC motherboard, or via a Toshiba TOTX173 to an optical cable feed, or with a small transformer to a coax line.”

Doesn’t look trivial to me.

Thats a violation of the DMCA.

Hey Sebastian,
Never thought about the DMCA, but would it fall into that since the circuit would not be decoding anything…
Although I guess everything from it could be digitally duplicated without the copy protection, so I guess this could be an issue. 🙁
