OK, most important part. Can you send one audio stream to the USB
goodie while listening to something else on the sound card? If not,
I can't see the advantage over a TOSLINK-capable sound card. This
is what I REALLY want to be able to do (in the absence of a drive
that can write music to MDs as data files. I want to be able to
record saved materials while listening to a live internet radio
station feed.
