or lash out on a $35 wolfson card if you need stereo in and out plus more, and 
want to avoid the usb.

certainly the Raspberries are cheaper than the Udoo, even with this card 
included ... but 3+ x the price of a Raspberry does get you a lot more computing 
power (4 much faster CPU cores plus an Arduino Due core with all the analogue 
and digital IO exposed and internally connected ... and the GPUs have openCL 
available and much more comprehensive documentation if you want to use them at a 
very raw level). There are much better peripherals included if you need that. 
Not sure yet how the audio noise compares between the wolfson, plain raspberry 
and udoo but will test and report eventually
