Oops. I forgot to tell you to use "lsusb -vv". But don't bother, the od output suffices for now. > 2) The od is attached as a .txt file. The descriptors announce the following capabilities: interface 0: various (mixer) controls interface 1: output 16 bits at 48 kHz, 2 channels interface 2: input 16 bits at 8/16/24/32/48 kHz, 2 channels interface 3: output AC-3 at 44.1/48 kHz ... and that's it. Now when I look at the specifications at <http://www.soundblaster.com/products/extigy/specs.asp> it turns out that Creative isn't outright lying, only being _extremely_ misleading: the page says that the ADC and DAC are capable of converting 24 bit data at 96kHz, but it does _not_ say that this bit depth and/or samping rate can be used to playback or record data from/to the computer. (It says the SPDIF input can do 24@96, but that's of no use if this format cannot be sent over the USB bus.) 6-channel output is supported with AC-3 only, but the driver currently doesn't support AC-3. To summarize: Where it matters, the Extigy does neither 24 bits nor 96kHz. For professional audio, you have to go elsewhere.
