Just been testing the ALSA support with DVDPlayer playing local movie files (I rarely use XBMC for music).
My custom made UAC2 compliant stereo USB DAC is found and audio plays - however the sound is accompanied by some distortion that sounds like buffer under-run type glitching. This is by no means horrendous, but is still not quite adequate for general use. I tried the different settings for 'Output Configuration' (ie 'Best Matched','Optimized' or 'Fixed') to no-avail.
I'd have expected just a little tweaking of some of the ALSA parameters would help improve this, but then I'm no expert what so ever
