My assumption was that M- would not release an HDMI solution for analogue speaker configurations BEFORE or WITHOUT a solution for their DSP speaker configurations. I still assume this, but I have more respect for your opinion than my own, so I'm sure you're assumption to the contrary is right...

It's my understanding that external modules are not allowed - it must be carried internal to the device; Further even internally it cannot be easily tapped digitally and must carry to an integrated analogue stage. Perhaps I'm in error...

yes - although actually I saw this as an advantages. M- was the only company to achieve this approval that I'm aware. My thoughts were this would put them at an advantage in getting the necessary approvals.
