For the S/PDIF yeah I didn't realize that.

It's not mobile I know that but I don't know his use case.

DP -> DVI-D is easy.

Usb sound card can be mobile enough but the combining device isn't 
mobile.

Hardware generally isn't error-prone.

;-).

It's not linux ;-).

:p.

But yeah I personally try to stay away from DisplayPort but I think I 
almost bought a HP widescreen elitebook with displayport myself.

But it's a terrible shame that it doesn't work.
