[mythtv-users] External audio

[Kevin Kuphal]

Has anyone used any USB attached external audio devices like the Extigy 
or the Creative Live 24-bit External USB device?  I'm considering this 
as an option on my small form factor frontend.  I see that it has 
optical SPDIF out which I need but I'm not sure on the AC3 passthrough 
support in Linux of these devices.  I'd like to do this to remove the 
full height PCI audio card I have in the SFF case in order to make room 
for an AGP video card which that card blocks. 

Thanks,
Kevin
