M-Audio produces both an Audiophile PCI and a Audiophile USB. Because
the AP-PCI is such a good and popular card, probably M-Audio saw fit
to market a "broken" USB card under the same name because otherwise it
wouldn't have found any buyers at all. ;) 

Anyway, I think, in recent 2.6 kernels/ALSA-CVS, a lot of work on
getting this USB card to run was made, so if one is forced to use one,
s/he might be more lucky now and should try the latest and greatest
ALSA and follow the included documentation [1]. But still I would
avoid to buy one if shopping for a new USB card.
