interesting.  i don't find any mono channel on the descriptions.
well, more investigations are necessary.

yes, it's because 88.2 and 96kHz are supported only with 24bit
format.
i'll work on the extension of more formats, so that 24bit on usb can
work.

too much bandwidth?

good!

then it was a bug of linux usb core stuff.
well, we may call it a bug of hardware :)
the quattro has insuccessive alternate settings, jumping from 0 to 4.
and linux usb core implicitly assumes the successive numbers.

anyway i'll commit this version to cvs now.

that's also a question to me :)
as written in my previous mail, hw:2,1 supports 24bit, while hw:2,0
doesn't.  perhaps this is only difference.
