 |
 |Frank Nobis <fn@radio-do.de>  in Germany has one.
 |The european version of the card has these features
 |Bt878, Philips Tuner. (nothing new there)
 |A MSP3415 NICAM Stereo decoder chip (which the Bt848 driver supports)
 |Another chip (was it a DSP35xx ???) which does the dolby decoding.
 |
 |You get normal stereo TV without having to initialise the Dolby chip,
 |so the current Bt848 driver works with the card in Stereo TV mode.
...
 |As far as I know, on the back are several line out sockets, one for
 |normal Left and Right from the TV/FM Radio/NICAM stereo signal.
 |The others drive your other speaker sets.

Thanks for the info.

 |So Randall, if you fancy getting one, we can have support for it in the
 |driver without any problems.

No, my computer speakers are too cheap to justify it.  I was just surprised
that I hadn't heard about it on the list.
