Consider sequential cannon blasts in the program, and the ability to

Thanks for the tip. I edited the plugin and changed the input labels.

Since you guys brought it up, here is a little primer on USB audio.
All modes in the official USB audio spec use isochronous transfer, this
means the host is sending out packets to match a particular transfer
