Neither, it was simply never implemented.
I believe that in the past ~11 years since this got merged I *still*
haven't gotten any other hardware that had optical output, so I don't
think I could possibly test it :)
Also, it's not as simple as output because there has to be clock
recovery etc. and I never could understand how alsa would handle that.
Anyway, that's all I remember. I still have the G5 powermac, but it's
never powered on any more (I used to still use it for big endian
testing, but our latest HW generation makes the PCI-E bus in the system
unhappy enough that it won't even boot).
