I suspect they are refering to AC3 out of the SPDIF, which is not really
useful for pro audio.
You could fit a pci soundcard to the riser though, or use USB, like you

Has anyone
looked at/evaluated/considered/used the new VIA EPIA-M9000
motherboard as the basis for interesting audio projects?
The reason I asked this question a few days ago is that this board looks
to my novice eye like a very promising, and relatively inexpensive,
platform for audio projects. It's small, low-powered, highly featured.
Spec sheet says it's Linux compatible.
I'd like to experiment, but have been burned before by hidden gotchas.
The specs include "six-channel surround sound." What does this mean? How
would one exploit it with Linux?
