Just wanted to mention that I received my Wandboard Dual and set it up
last night and set it up rather easily, so props on that to JackOfAll
and Triode, (and any other contributors of whom I may not be aware).

I used a Musical Fidelity USB to SPDIF, namely the V-link 192 which is a
USB Audio Class 2 device. I ended up setting Alsa parameters for 80ms
buffer and 32 bit format (80::32:).  I heard some clicks at 40ms, but I
need to go back and check if that was due to another user error.

Name: Musical Fidelity V-192 S/PDIF Output Interface
URL: http://www.musicalfidelity.com/products/vSeries/v-link192/ 
Driver: snd-usb-audio
Max Rate: 192k
Class: UAC2
Used by: dsdreamer

I have tested FLAC playback at 192kS/s, 96kS/s and 44.1kS/s extensively
at audio was perfect (at 80ms buffer length).

I didn't find an elegant way to mount the WLAN antenna in the plastic
box and hence used Ethernet for all my testing. 

I had a 1080p HDMI monitor hooked up at all times, and used a Logitech
wireless keyboard with Unifying receiver as my "remote control".

The only thing that slowed me down in getting this running was finding
ALSA parameters that would work with my preferred USB interface. I am
thinking we need a strategy to make this easier for new users. Should we
develop an "alsa-wisdom.txt" text file that collates the settings that
people have found to work with different DACs? If we did, it could be
used as the default if the user doesn't know better. 

Since, I am up-and-running, I am now available to do things (running
tests, writing documentation etc). Let me know how I can help.
