#2I love the fact that a whole ecosystem has appeared around patching up the holes in the Pi's architecture[1]. Unfortunately by the time you've purchased them all, you probably could have bought a BeagleBoard instead.
[1] The built in codec and filtering is absolutely horrible making it pretty useless for audio applications.

#3Nice. PI's built in audio processing is extremely crappy and the analog 3.5mm output is almost unusable for music.

It's disappointing that this doesn't support v1.0 boards. I hadn't realised that RPis had been fragmented like that.

I have a beaglebone black, but I can't get it to encode FullHD video in realtime. Am I missing something? or is there actually a justification for both the RasPi and the BeagleBone?

How can I actually hear this? I am no audiophile, but I can't notice any audio problems with my Pi.

usually when people do [1] or something like that it's to a link.
to my ear the audio out of the pi's hdmi port is perfectly fine.
i think the DAC used in the RCA jack is probably not very good. I would pay for a HDMI audio to DAC adapter rather than $33 for another soundcard that just works with the pi.

apparently the DAC for the RCA out is 11bit - but I can't really find any definitive proof of that.

#9What bus is used to communicate with the sound card? The obvious candidate is USB, but the Pi's USB bandwidth is limited and I don't recall whether USB is available on the pin headers.

Are there any sub-$100 HDMI DACs that do 5.1 or 7.1? That would be amazingly useful if so.
