I'd be interested to know if the sound card shows up in audio settings.
Do you get any sounds when selected?
omxplayer won't support it, but paplayer and dvdplayer may.
Note this is untested and experimental, so I'm not expecting it to work well, but I'd like to know if any ALSA cards are close to working.
Briefly tested with an Asus Xonar U3 usb sound card. I've never used it on a Pi before, so I don't know if it works in Rasbian or whatever. After I plugged it in (and the Pi rebooted) I got two new audio output options, for analog and spdif. Only tried usb analog output as I don't have an optical receiver handy, but GUI sounds and dvdplayer video audio worked, outside of some persistent crackling noise (only during audio playback, including GUI sounds).
