I'd like to buy a new laptop with a 13" screen that supports digital audio output via S/PDIF or TOSlink. I don't want to deal with the endless hours of fiddling with a real time kernel and jack audio, so firewire is out until ALSA directly supports it. I don't want to carry a box around to break out the audio from the HDMI port, it's one more thing to lose. And I don't want my files down sampled to 48k x 16 bits for standard USB audio (not to mention USB audio just doesn't sound right to my ears). I just want to send my 96k x 24bit audio files directly to a DAC with the least possible fuss. If there was an ExpressCard/34 sound card with S/PDIF supported by ALSA, I would buy it in a second. If you own a cheapish laptop 13 to 14 inch laptop, and have working S/PDIF or TOSLink output, please would you let me and the rest of the world know?
