[BC] AES/EBU issue

[Acuff, Marty]

It doesn't matter whether the input to the STL is analog or digital
because the data-reduction takes place between the STL codecs.

As I understand it, the DSP6000 places an encoder "in front of" a
standard composite STL transmitter, and "behind" a standard composite
STL receiver is a decoder.  The encoder/decoder pair provide
data-reduction in order to reduce the radiated spectrum within the
limits for the service. Like this in block format:

audio (a or d) -> encoder -> STL xmit -> STL rcv -> decode -> audio (a
or d)
