Rob, I've found that USB audio stuff is a hit or miss. It can work reliably, or it can cause more grief then it is worth. Overall I prefer PCI / PCIe based cards.
One issue that I ran into on one machine - the USB plugs were right next to the power supply and would get hot. After the system had run for a while the USB device would lose connection, and then come back (get re-found) with a different device number. As best I can tell the power supply heat was causing the connectors in the USB plug itself to warm up, expand / contract, and lose connection / reconnect with the device. I tested this once by pulling the power supply out of the case (using another power supply with longer connections), and the thing ran for a few days. Then I warmed the USB plug up with a hair dryer and the problem came back. Lorne Tyndale > I'm reluctantly being forced to conclude that all USB audio devices are > bad news.
