Sound hardware question..

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

I am rethinking much of the AV distro at chez Lowe just now, and
wondering
if anyone has seen a convertor to take an Analog Stereo input, and turn
it
into a
SP-DIF data stream...

The *catch* is that it has to delay the analog side of things, so that
the
signal
appearing on the SP-DIF line is the same as the Analog ouput, not lagged
by
a few
milliseconds.

I am rapidly coming down to distributing regular audio throughout the
house
as
SP-DIF over Cat5E (which works a treat, btw), especially as I think it
simplifies
whole house DVD a fair bit: exactly the same wiring and transport can
be
sued for
2 Channel music or 6 Channel DTS, and leave it down to the end node to
decode it
if it can.

In order to do this nicely, I would have to replace *one* set of
Creative
Labs 2.1
Soundworks speakers with the Digital (SPDIF in) version.

At the worst, I could use a Soundblaster Live, which has an SPDIF
output,
and just
feed the analog from my source switcher into the line in..

consider this a "out loud" think, any suggestion/comment would be
welcome..

Ian.
