Have you had any issues with sound periodically dropping out?  With my setup,
it'll go for 20-30 minutes or so and then the receiver will click out of and
back into AC3 mode.  I end up losing several seconds of audio when this
happens.  It'd be nice to lose the USB S/PDIF dongle I'm using, but right now
it works properly and the motherboard audio doesn't.
