Hi there,
as recommended by Daniel, I've found help in pulse-audio list, and now I have my usb device as the default one. It still not appearing in Ubuntu's audio pane, but the software that I'm using (mataa) now work with it.
The problem is that "mataa" sees the scarlett interface, lists it on audio_info but when I ask ir to produce some sound, I get just some clicks instead what I ask to. The curious thing is that using the "aplay > -Dplughw:USB some-test-wave.wav", the device works fine.
So I'm wondering if you can help me. I put here mataa_selftest script. When I type mataa_selftest on Octave, the expected return is a beep from output (in this case, from the usb device) and the response from microphones. But, as I said, this command is returning just some clicks. Looking at the script it is possible to find the error?

If that doesn't work, I'd recommend you join the PA mailing list and ask
there. Put me in Cc: on your mails if you like.
