http://mitchtech.net/raspberry-pi-audio/ Why not just use the 8 HDMI sound channels? Can you get jack and ambdec compiled for raspberry-pi? http://offog.org/code/potamus.html is a small player that can play ambisonic files via jack and ambdec.
I would love to know it is available, I have not yet ordered a raspberry pi.

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.
