I am looking to install alsa on a laptop along
with something for
more reasonable sound such as a Roland ua-20... So far I have
heard that alsa does not work, only oss, and that the latency that
can be expected with such a set up is worth neglect.
Although I don't have much experience with the usb-audio module, the
details at
alsa-project.org indicate that it's well beyond the
limitations you mention. However, I _can_ speak to the fact that ALSA
is certainly capable of very good low-latency performance on a laptop.
