Keychain sized virtual 5.1ch USB audio

Sanwa Supply has released a 5.1-channel sound device over in Japan that is about the size of a keychain. It costs about $28 USD and features a single connector for your speakers or headphones. We're still hesitant to call "virtual 5.1-channel" anything close to real 5.1-channel audio—namely since, uh, the former uses only two speakers where you're supposed to have, you know, five. USB 5.1-channel sound devices
aren't exactly the freshest technology on the planet, but there's still plenty of desire for halfway decent audio support while away from your desktop. This particular unit is also supported under Windows and Mac OS, so there are no worries about using it around your multi-platform house.
