Hi,
I am setting up my new Raspberry Pi (Debian Linux), and am interested in
any comments, recommendations etc regarding the various really low-cost
USB devices around (e.g under £40, some as little as £12) offering 5.1
or 7.1 outputs - e.g. Terratec, StarTech, Digiflex; in case any of them
are worth taking a chance on to get surround out of the Pi. Obviously I
am not expecting stellar audio quality (or anything better than 16/48),
but they need to use chips that alsa knows about, such as C-Media and be
as far as is possible a class-compliant USB device. I can easily build
the multi-channel toolkit for the Pi, but there is no point if a
surround output is unachievable. Anyone else exploring the Pi? Needless
to say, a simple stereo USB card is no problem; I have my Edirol UA-1EX
working nicely for output.
