As we all know, Logitech Revue do not allow direct Dolby/DTS output to a receiver.
I have a crazy idea:
Android 3 has USBHost api, which should allow connection of in theory any device. What if we han take some cheap USB sound card with opensource driver, rewrite some part of this driver in Java Android Api and make it passthrough. I am not good in writing drivers and not sure if it is even possible. But sounds cool. :twisted:

As it will use official USB Host API (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/host.html), it will not be a real driver - just USB protocol implementation in user space. So, I should not require rooting.

NO. This api is a part of Android Honeycomb.
