Russell,

I looked again at the Armada-510-Functional-Spec, and I found:

- section 12.1
	...
	I2S Supported Features
		An audio sample rate (Fs) of 44.1/48/96 kHz.
		...
	S/PDIF Supported Features
		The IEC60958-1, IEC60958-3, and IEC61937 specifications.
		An audio sample rate (Fs) of 44.1/48/96 kHz.
		...

- Table 436: Clocks Control Register
	     Offset: Unit0: 0x000B1230, Unit1: 0x000B5230
	...
	1:0 MCLK source RW  MCLK = 256 Fs, where Fs = 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz.
			0x0 Playback should not be active when selecting an external MCLK, or moving
			    from one external MCLK to another MCLK source.
			    0 = DCO: MCLK is from DCO.
			    1 = Reserved
			    2 = Reserved
			    3 = External: MCLK is from an external source.

As they don't work with my TV set, may you confirm that these webradios

work for you with the external clock? (sample rates resp. 33.075, 24
and 22.05 kHz)
