Hi all,

I've just bought a low cost USB audio device. For about Ł45 the
device sports two optical SPDIF (=toslink) connectors (one in, one
out) clocking at 32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz. According to the specs it's
USB 1.1 and USB audio 1.1 compliant. It is assembled and branded by
ABIT, model UA-11, the "i/Optica".

The audio module loads with these messages:

The output from `lsusb' is a monster:

As for the actual board inside the grey plastic case, it has two tiny
ICs on it - one is labelled "KC2178P", the other "XWM9707" + "16ADAU2"

So, what do you think? Start reading at
http://www.usb.org/developers/data/devclass/audio10.pdf, or is there
an easy solution to this? Perhaps some information on deciphering the
output of `lsusb'?

FWIW it works perfectly under Windows with no (advertised) special
support by the Windows USB audio driver.
