i used the "ESI Gigaport HD+ 8-Output" in a sound installation, and that
was rock solid. worked even on a RPI 2 (out of the box as far as i remember)
you might want to consider an external power supply (an active usb hub)
for the soundcard. and (since i was streaming an 8 channel wav file with
[readsf~] i had to increase PD's audiobuffer and the playback blocksize
for smooth playback (i put [readsf~] into a subpatch and used [block~
2048 1 1] to achieve that - if i remember correctly).

I would strongly advise against that
