I have a Magnavox CD player and a wondering if I can get digital
output from it.  Unfortunately it has a SAA7210 as its decoder.
The chip has separate outputs for the decoded digital audio
stream, the subcodes, and the like.  Does anybody out there have
any idea on how difficult it would be to recombine everything
into a standard digital output stream.

Thanks,
Jim
