Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

That is I2S, inter-IC sound. A standard method of generating and sending sound around electronics.
There are also Digilent boards that take in I2S and output CD quality stereo. We combined these with an LPC4330 to generate 5.1 audio from USB connection to a PC. The PC was putting out stereo and we were using commercial audio processing algorithms running on the LPC4330 to generate the additional channels. This demo was shown a couple years back at an Embedded Systems Conference.
Basically I2S is typically 24bit stereo serial digital signal, with clock and framing.
Like I say I play with music in the lab.

Thank You Goeytex .... Yes Indeedy ! I'll need to work out a subroutine to make
the transition of frequency to period more
facile, but that's O.K.
