Oldbassist, there is nothing in the Intel spec that supports any of your conclusions. In fact, DRM, encryption, and conditional access are not even mentioned.The spec is an attempt to standardize the way hi-res audio and multiple audio streams are handled on a PC at the driver and hardware level. Intel (and Microsoft) are feeling the competition from home theater audio and video systems, and don't want to be left out of the picture.
The previous poster asked for an explanation of the spec, and you responded with a diatribe of the "the entertainment industry versus the consumer'" which was full of half-baked opinions.
That wasn't very fair, was it?
