The cs4630 chip is still in list of Cirrus available products.

Maybe it's meaningless to continue with this, but i'm a very obstinate 
persson and have not
given up yet.
I suspect that the specifications we need for the cs4630 are chipped 
ordering the
reference board manufacturing kit (CMK4630-10) plus a lot of OrCAD PCB 
stuff .
I believe that the Game Theater XP card is probably 99% based on the 
CMK4630 reference
design + "a breakout box".
Then i've been trying to contact Cirrus to get some price information about
the CMK4630-10 manufacturing kit and try to know what's included and maybe
order one (if it's not too expensive), but Cirrus just sucks and have 
not given me any
response yet. Then today i tried to call directly to a Cirrus 
distributor where people
was gone on vacations and gone for weekend, so things just sucks!
