So Mouser accidentally sent me some of these Toshiba photocouplers. I was wondering if anyone has a use for them or can tell me if they have any use in audio.

Well they make nice relay drivers as is their intended function, and the isolation could be handy to avoid grounding issues. Basically a low power DC SSR.
Thanks for the info Mark. Getting these parts made me curious about their use in a circuit. Good learning experience for the future. I also thought about the person that didn't receive them and contacted Mouser. They sent me a return shipping label to ship them back.
