Hijack v450 is now available, as is v449.

New in v449: allow button names to be used with extmute_on= and extmute_off= options.

New in v450: enable empeg to be used for digital playback (mp3, ogg, wav, ..) even when the cs4231a chip is dead.

That chip is only used for analog inputs, so this version of hijack forces the player into digital playback mode when it detects a dead cs4231a chip. It also intercepts the button codes for switching to analog inputs and ignores them. So no Tuner, no Aux, but the rest still works.

There's probably a loophole in there somewhere (eg. attempting to use the microphone..), but it works for me.

Cheers
