Will Jolla Tablet support USB DACs?
well, Stefano Mosconi stated in a MWC 15 interview that the Jolla tablet will have USB OTG, so the usb management is different than the one on the phone.

Support for usb HID in the kernel is a requirement for using an external sound card on the tablet, but it is not enough: at a minimum, some way to select the externar card as the device must be in place for it ti work). But at least, it looks feasable.

I think arg0 is referring to external USB DAC's. This will allow to play your music trough an external high quality audio DAC. aptX is an audio codec developed by CSR for bluetooth audio transmission and have nothing to do with USB.

In other words, my USB-related question is: does the Jolla Tablet support digital audio out through the USB port, so that I can connect it to an external USB DAC?
