[linux-audio-user] Multi-channel audio with a computerfront end

[aljordan at maine.rr.com]

D/A conversion inside the PC does not always mean jitter and noise.  The
LynxTwo series of PCI cards has very little noise and some of the best
sounding DACs I've heard.  Unfortunately, the LynxTwo series is not
supported by Alsa, only OSS.
