Topic: iRiver h1x0 users: if you want optical recording in rockbox, speak up:

[whatboutbob]

The core Rockbox developers are currently working on a release schedule.

They've roughly scheduled the first iRiver rockbox release (its currently in beta) for May  They've not yet decided whether to include optical recording in this release.

I believe this is our best chance of getting s/pdif recording any time soon, so if you want it, and believe it to be a 'core function', can I suggest that you make your voices heard in this thread:

For months I've been harrassing a developer mate @ work to have a go at it.  He's finally agreed to have a look @ the code, so we'll see how it goes. No promises of course.

that's great news. +T for effort.

I just heard back from my workmate after his initial poke at the code...his mildly encouraging assesment was that it is 'not indecipherable'.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but as a last resort he could well be an option.

Now I've just got to gather together the history of rockbox recording patches and implementation, and any other documents I can find to make it as easy as possible for him.
