Any USB audio device that works with 'normal' Linux will also be
supported by the _same_ USB audio driver in the Android kernel.

However, it's possible that Android did not bother to enable this
driver in its default configuration, and that the userspace stuff does
not allow Android applications to switch to any other than the default
internal sound device.

To summarize: Your problem is not the driver, but how to access that
driver, which is an Adroid-specific problem.
