  also reported here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6830864&postcount=8
  2 remote control in this sound card is not implemented in driver, so no HID 
device is found, I tried it with lirc and driver usbaudio, but it didn't work.
  3. no mixer
  4. USB 1.0 speed prevents special features like surround and crystalizer to 
work
