Re: [LAD] USB audio on RPi3B+

Hi Fons,

Are you using a RT kernel at all?
Onboard i2s soundcards sound like a better option for multichannel, alas
the RPi only does 2 channels... unless you do some voodoo like transmitting
256 bits over two channels with a hardware divider... similar to how a
certain multichannel card does it ;-)

Cheers!
