Making a HDMI audio type detector

I believe it's just re-framed S/PDIF packed into the data islands, so format detection would happen more or less the same as it does with an S/PDIF receiver. Which is to say "not in a very well defined manner".

Except HDMI supports a bunch of audio formats S/PDIF does not.

Looking through the HDMI Standard 1.4 (search for "hdmi 1.4 standard filetype:pdf") it looks like there are two ways to transmit audio.

- A packet that contains audio samples, and metadata bits out of the S/PDIF stream.

- A one-bit audio packet. That I assume moves raw bits from source to sink.

Looking at the S/PDIF info at http://www.hardwarebook.info/S/PDIF, I would guess that the coding is transmitted in the "Channel status and subcode information".

I assume that the source asked over E-DID what formats are supported, then sends a standard S/PDIF stream with the correct metadata for the desired audio format.

If the stream is not compatible for with SPDIF framing/packets I assume the raw stream of bits is transmitted over a one-bit audio packet...

Wouldn't the easiest answer be to just use a surround sound receiver and observe what format it detects?

Or am I misunderstanding your goal here?

That's what I am doing at the moment with a receiver, but I am trying to build a portable one.
