Just one more reason why USB Audio Interfaces are not a good replacement 
for PCI(e) Audio Interfaces. USB devices seem to randomly vanish without 
anyone touching the plug even. My 10 year old PCI AI is more stable (and 
can do lower latency) than any USB device I have tried yet.

Even my USB qwerty keyboard comes and goes sometimes.
