Hi,
I collegue from our company and me also wanted to do some experiments
with DSP in Audio. Actually to try to build some AC-3 stuff with active
X-over...
And we are waiting for the same AD (animal device:-).

My Q is: the representative told us that they have some non-production
silicon on
the board. So is it buggy DSP or you can use it without problems ?
Or you got a quote that allready contain the debugged, "production" 21161 ?
