Ok, the jelly bean feature list says "USB Audio support, exposed through the Android Open Accessory Development Kit"
This means its not plug and play.
The accesory needs to communicate first to enable accessory mode, and then perform enumeration.
The support for "plug and play" needs to be implemented by the accessory makers. Hence, you'll have to get android compatible accessories, as and when they're available.

Could someone recommend a pair of < $300 ($400?) IEMs  to use with the Galaxy?
 
I use the phone with Etys HF-5 but given its capabilities, I consider upgrading. Etys are wonderful yet a bit thin.

I can't say it'll 'never' work, but yes, I'd not recommend buying it unless its usable. Maybe it'll have to be modified.

Not sure if it'll be able to work.
Take a look at this:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24614&sort=-stars&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
 
Towards the end there's a discussion of the jelly bean audio implementation. It seems the phone will act as the device, with the accessory being the host.
PCs work in reverse order.
So this does not seem to be the USB Audio Class implementation, but an accessory USB interface. Only accessories like docks etc. will be able to work I guess.

is it possible to get an audio line out from the galaxy nexus, not to bypasss the dac but to simply have a direct clean line to an external amp, like the lods on ipod/iphones?

I don't think there is much sense in that. First, Nexus amp is an excellent one and quite powerful (if you apply Voodoo). Second, you may disable the amp completely (again, using Voodoo) -- set digital volume to 100% and analog amp volume to 0%. The two types of volume are controlled independently.

So my question stands. Anyone?
