[edit] too technical

This article starts out by describing too many technical details, as indicated by this question on the March 20, 2006 science reference desk. Adding more text to the lead section in simpler language may improve this. -- Bovineone 00:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Still don't get it

This really needs a plain-english summary to the beginning. I'm an engineering student and this still seems too technical. So I agree with Bovineone.

[edit] needs a picture

This article needs a picture to help out the reader who wants to identify the mystery port on the back of their computer. --Markhu 22:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree completely. I am trying to figure out the myster ports as well. Since there are both mono RCA and Optical on my computer and stereo RCA and optical on my stereo. I am trying to figure out what I have to do to get it working.--John 03:55, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Small error

In Section "Protocol specifications" there's presumably an error: 16 bit data is 0-padded and 24 bit achieved by dropping other info, not the other way round. In reference to the above comments, I think it would be great if someone could provide more insight on the standard (maybe copy a little from the AES/EBU page?). Unfortunately, the IEC is one of those standardization committees that do not provide their standards for free (like the ETSI). -- Onitake 2006-05-01 22:14 CET
