Some more exclusive Linux-related hardware information to pass along tonight to our forum goers...
Shortly LTB (a relatively unheard of audio company by most) will be introducing the Magnum USB Headphones (Model Number: LTB-MG51-USB). These headphones use a USB connection to eliminate any present sound card, but does present some questions in form of Linux compatibility -- LTB only guarantees support for Windows and Macintosh. It also uses a 6 speaker design. Other features include a noise-canceling microphone (with mute button) and digital volume control.
Having already spoken with an LTB representative on the matter, the Magnum LTB-MG51-USB uses CMedia's CM106 Audio Controller (http://www.cmedia.com.tw/?q=en/USB/CM106). This chip should work fine with the snd-usb-audio driver with ALSA. If using ALSA 1.0.12 or 1.0.13 development, I don't foresee any GNU/Linux compatibility problems. We should have access to these USB headphones shortly to further dissect its Linux performance/support.
