Sorry to barge in on the conversation, but it seems to me that the UA-101 remains closest we got to a working USB2 soundcard yet it is not functional enough to be useful (clicks due to lack of proper sync). I had a student giving it a try earlier this summer and had high hopes that he would come through. Alas, he gave up or got side-tracked with studies and unfortunately, the thing is still not working... Any hope anyone else might take this one up anytime soon?
