hotplug is so that your system can communicate with USB devices. If you 
already have a usb device that is working you don't need to install it.

You should try using hte usb-audio driver and report what you get with
	
	cat /proc/asound/devices
or	cat /proc/asound/cards

If it is standards complient it should work out of the box. If it needs 
firmware then Clemens Ladisch is your best bet. But he may be busy.

========================================

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.
