Gamecube Digital A/V Port

Does anybody know where I can get a pinout for the Gamecube's 'digital A/V' port (not the one labeled 'Multi Out'). I want to know because I seem to remember that there is an S/PDIF digital audio channel there (it was a long time since I saw the pinout) that I want to feed that into my PC (or any decoder) directly to decode it (and get nice Pro-Logic 2) so that I can avoid having to use messy SCART breakout connectors to feed the analogue audio signal into my analogue inputs (and hence the resulting loss of quality).

Thanks,

<<ERROR>>

You might be able to find one here:

It's from Groundy, one of the people who discovered it was possible to get RGB from NTSC console (iirc he was the first one to do it?)

I had a look (and scoured the Atari Labs forum thread on the subject). From what I could tell, the 'Cube won't output a native S/PDIF signal from its digital out port; instead you have to convert a weird digital signal, by making a circuit from a rather nasty-looking diagram.

I do not have the electrical skills or the dexterity with a soldering iron to make this circuit, so I'll give up on this.

Thanks for your help, though.
