Jon, you just said it all, the manufacturer will provide the software that allows the DSP to work. What software do you think they'll use. Can you name one manufacturer that has software that will work on all current and future codecs.
Sure, maybe some manufacturers have the wherewithall to do it, they have to be very careful not to use any of eDig's patents, and they'll probably use more then 8K of ram, but they may get it done. It could cost them many millions, and probably won't be as good as eDig, because it can't use their patents, but they could do it.
The point is why would they. Would you reinvent the wheel. I don't think so. I believe eDig will be inside most, if not all, the new devices that are truly built to play, not translate, multiple formats. I don't know that you'll ever see a label, eDig Inside, but it'll be there, and the manufacturer or marketer of the product will be paying eDig for it.
