Great post,

You just reminded me that I have two 10W speakers I salvaged from a destroyed flat screen TV.

Now all I need to do is pick up or build an amplifier and I can make my RPi speak.

Frederick, it sounds as a good solution for the cards. I have done experiments with the CL on the PI B+ (not 2) and the output is really great but there is the problem to manage the audio card as the only device. Good idea to avoid tries with the PI 2 compatible kernel as it is very limited. And can't be updated/upgraded just due this realtime kernel.

All these considerations were correct until I have not read the post of [mention:af9afcdd12d240cc981e22fc1d60c025:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] Ambrogio for his flying object had to install a real time kernel and - I have not yet tried it for reasons of time - it seems that it works fine with almost all the functions. If you have time to make another check I suggest you to try it, the hardware performances between the two devices are very different and it is the worth to make at least a check.
