[LAU] sound devices usbpre2

[alexander]

Just got one -_- it works out of the box in usb 1.1.. in theory it 
should also work in usb 2.0.. or that depends, what is the state of 
usb2-audio on linux? if it's ok this litle thing should work in some way..

It's a real nice piece of hardware, the smell off quality is allover.. 
the only bad thing is that -15dB PAD's and phantom power is controlled 
with dip switches wich aren't really accesible by hand..

So, does anybody know the state of usb2 audio on linux? it's supposed to 
work in usb2 on newer macs without 'external' drivers...

And does anybody know how to set the default soundcard by name rather 
than a number on archlinux. I've tried this; 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA#Random_Lack_of_Sound_on_Startup but 
I really can't seem to get it working..
