Bug Description

It would be nice if we could support USB DAC with our phone images. There are a lot of audiophile linux users out there that carry expensive headsets and battery powered DAC. (i.e. see http://www.ap-linux.com/)

I believe for that to work we need support for USB sound devices in the kernel (we might already have). Pulse audio support for those. Some form of UI to configure output through USB. And finally it would be great to also stream DSD directly instead of PCM.
This is a format supported by many DAC and a few playback tools like mpd.

I tried attaching a few usb audio devices to krillin, and nothing happened in kernel log. I then received a kernel from morphis that contains the various usb & snd config flags enabled. For some reason that kernel did not want to boot up..
