Digital audio (S/PDIF) does not use error correction. The S/PDIF receiver/decoder uses error concealment by repeating the last known good bit from a small buffer (up to 20 bits before dropping a frame) or in the case of a bad CRC a dropped 32 mSec audio frame.
Point taken, but I wasn't talking specifically about S/PDIF, but just in general terms that errors get corrected (or concealed, nullified, adjusted, un-modified, made good or whatever).
Hey, this ain't the IEEE bulletin board and some shooting from the hip
is allowed in the process of making a
general point for a general audience.
