So here is where I am standing today:
TT stuff on 3359 seems to work (UAC1.0 async works without hub)
UAC2.0 async has clicks/pops
Kernel that comes with board is not RT and doesn't support SCHED_FIFO
Other kernels will probably support SCHED_FIFO but probably not RT -
need to try them see if fixes clicks/pops
I want to use 3874 processor which does have hardware scheduling, but
not ehci. Not clear if driver makes use of hardware scheduling or not
Would have to test on an eval board. Only eval board costs $2200, a
little pricy for out of my pocket! 
May be possible to build my own eval board for $200-$250 or so, takes a
month to do so.
If we can get rid of clicks/pops with software (thread priorities RT
kernel etc) is that sufficient to say the issue is closed and go with
the 3874 without explicitely testing that processor?
Freescale has similar processor which DOES say it's USB host port is
ehci compatible. It has some drawbacks: 
single memory controller, harder to do 512MB
single I2S and  S/PDIF, not nearly as flexible
no builtin HDMI, needs external chip (but does have VGA on chip)
REAL BIGGY does not have pad and symbol for my board layout software,
have to do by hand, very time consuming and error prone

Any thoughts of where we should go?
