Work on stability continues. Now filter shows good stability, therefore its status changes to beta and it may be recommended to replace any previous version.
Some additional work was done:
Sometimes SPDIF mode cannot be set because of post-processing filters
that do not support spdif output. Now it's an additional option to force
this problem. Read here for more info:
