I don't think that your requirements will be fulfilled by usb-devices. Because 
usb1.X only has bandwidth for 4 audio-channels which is mostly used as 2 in 
and 2 out.
USB2 would have the bandwidth. But there is no usb2-audio-standard so there is 
no real driver for the various usb2-audio devices...

Yep, get a supported[1] firewire-device.

Have fun,

Arnold
