Basically it requires a transmitter at one end, and a receiver/converter
at the other, if I'm reading it right. one hardware solution is to put
rca jacks on cat5 cable, and connect that way. It carries stereo on one
wire, and is a high fidelity solution. Ground loops are a problem.

I'm guessing the ASUS board has the transmitter integrated into it.

Does anybody use this in the home?

The article I found was about a professional audio studio.

I use it in my Home Theater and DVD players to hear Dolby 5.1 channel/
Digital Theater Sound from DTS and mult-channel DVDs.

BTW, I hooked up my wife's PC's on-board sound card to her old 100 watt
4-channel stereo receiver (non-digital just Dolby Pro-logic) and I'm
jealous of the sound from her PC/receiver combo. So, if you've got an
old stereo system there's still a use for it.
