Aha! I actually do remember this being an issue with my old hardware and it was 
something that was fixed by making sure to plug the audio in directly to the 
machine and not through a hub. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the issue on 
the rPI, but disabling the Ethernet port *and* unplugging my wifi dongle does. 
The crackling is the USB bus probably not honoring the realtime audio requests 
of the UA-25 ... which pretty much sucks since I do need networking. This seems 
to be a recurring thread with *professional* audio cards and rPI.

Basically, it does work in full duplex ... but only if you don't plug anything 
more then a keyboard in addition to the soundcard.

My old hardware may have been slower, but apparently the USB setup was alot 
more robust. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed in later rPI 
firmware updates, but for now I can't run my entire system on a pi without 
networking :P
