Bit late to the party, but in case it's still useful I've responded below.
Yes, but only once proper hardware-accelerated video decoding was implemented (e.g. netflix at full quality/speed through a browser), so I could replace my current setup (both video and audio use cases). Unfortunately looks like 4k video decoding is still a way off.
Practically? Needs to be under the price of an equivalent USB DAC (under as the USB unit would be more flexible).
I don't think I have a strong preference. A simple 3.5mm is slightly more practical, but it's also easy to adapt from a 6.35.
TOSlink.
No.
None currently, although (an equivalent to) the smallest variety on the Pine64 store will come in time.
