If it is a standard usb audio device then it should already work but as 
no one has tested yet we don't know. The support for usb audio devices 
has been very speedy though so if you have difficulties it should take 
long to be fixed.

Clemens and Takashi will know more.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
