[PD] RPI stereo USB audio was: audio interface with multiple ins on raspberry pi

[Dan Wilcox]

Yeah, I know a lot of these small mini-jack boards work, but I require XML and jack inputs and stereo jack outputs.

I could never get it to work well in full-duplex mode without dropouts, even with a low-latency kernel and other real-time tweaks. In the end, it seemed the USB driver on the RPI was simply not designed for the "isynchronous audio" this requires.
