Awesome. Will be curious to see if parts are available, and what the required driver support will be. Quite promising though.
Thanks for the info!
I've requested a datasheet so we'll see
Do let us know how that turns out. VIA have been fairly difficult in some of my past experience. I hope they are more forthcoming on this.
cmedia has a similar solution

I hope that Micro$oft and some linux driver programmer wite usb audio class 2.0 driver.

Well I got a product brief document from Via, it's confidential so I can't post it. But I can say that while it doesn't support asynchronous transfer, it does support 11 isochronous endpoints (5 in, 6 out) and a "feedback" endpoint which somehow guarantees lossless transfer.
This is all *very* promising. Even more so now that I see C-media is also keeping up with technology. Not a surprise, their current chip is very widely used, almost as much as the TI solutions... (from what little I can tell).
I'm most interested to hear what the driver requirements are. Will these work with standard windows/linux/mac drivers (OS X "core" audio?) Or do they require custom drivers similar to high speed firewire solutions?
Anything about driver support in the VIA docs?
Thanks!

Confidential? lol
Did they make you sign a NDA? If not, please post away.

C-Media has had that info up for over a year, but I have yet to see any information that proves it actually exists. As far as I'm concerned it's the Lock Ness monster.

It exists. They only like talking to companies that are going to buy tons of chips, though.
