I think his complaint is that using the ADB device, the sound coming out
of the SPDIF port is not affected by the equalizer, or by any mixer
sliders.  Personally, I like it better this way, but I guess we have a
difference of opinion.

Maybe you misread?  It looks to me like he's saying the driver IS
stable.

Anyway, I think its good enough to send.  I'd ideally like SPDIF to work
a little better (i.e. changing samplerates being useful, and working as
an AC3 passthru), but I see no reason to hold off because of that.  All
the base functionality works well.  I can play audio, I can record
audio.  I don't know of any ugly bugs.  What else do you really need?
