[mythtvnz] Need recommendation for USB audio device

[Alan Walls]

Thanks

The little research I have done agrees with you for USB stereo.  The
quote I read said something like "Almost every USB 1.1 USB audio device
works with linux".  Unfortunately I think I need a USB 2.0 device to
handle digital data and they don't always have good support.

USB audio is nice in that there is only one driver.  Basically any USB
Audio card should work fine.  I got one for $7 of trademe and no issues
at all.  It had a 3.5mm phono output socket.

Finding one with optical/coax output is going to be a real challenge /
expensive item though.
