Apologies for the thread hijack but since it's related, I won't feel too guilty 
:-)

How does one get better USB performance?   I ask because of the usual sad, sad
story  of hand damage, speech recognition, and Windows[1].   today, USB audio is
the way to go for speech recognition.  virtual box USB audio is choppy and
choppy audio is not good for speech recognition.  How can I eliminate that
choppiness?

Related is a plea for help from someone with hands that work.  We need help
writing an application[2] will transfer text and commands to and from a linux
context.  This is no bullshit when I say that this kind of application can help
make a difference in fellow geeks getting/keeping a job after disability.

[1]keyboard nukes hands, desperate geek driven to speech recognition, speech
recognition only runs on Windows, Windows drives geek mad, geek encapsulate
windows in the VMWare, VMWare drives geek mad, ...

[2] the application is a significant advance over the  NaturallySpeaking feature
called "dictation box".  Think a small, very lightweight text editor.  The
editor would use one of the "standard" edit controls so that all of the speech
recognition editing features inherent in naturally speaking would work.
Information would be transferred to and from the Linux context via cut-and-paste
(customizable on a per application basis).  It would be nice to be able to write
commands using NaturallySpeaking macros and control/inject text in the
application but that's a second-generation thing.  third generation would be the
ability to put syntax smart editing in our dictation box.

the first two steps aren't horribly complicated and the first step is the core
to being able to use Linux applications with speech recognition.  It's just a
bit to do it if your hands don't work right as C/C++ is pretty unspeakable
