[PD] [OT] mini-ITX again

[Derek Holzer]

Hi Martin,

thanks for the heads up. Does the SPDIF output work fine under Ubuntu? 
How many channels is it good for?

And on that tip...recommendations for a 4 or 8 channel DAC+ADC that 
isn't the size of a telephone book?

Last quiz question: how noisy is the fan on that sucker?

best!
