If you already have a usb device that is working you don't need to install it. You should try using hte usb-audio driver and report what you get with cat /proc/asound/devices or cat /proc/asound/cards If it is standards complient it should work out of the box. If it needs firmware then Clemens Ladisch is your best bet. But he may be busy. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
