The UA101 is not supported, as it is USB2, but does not adhere to the
USB audio standard.
The device shows up as a Vendor Specific Type (in the USB descriptor),
not as an audio device. I suppose a separate driver will need to be
written for it, which probably won't succeed without information from
Edirol. I am not sure what the current status is there.
As I hear that the FreeBob project is supporting the FA101, I suppose
that that may also help for development of the UA101, as I suspect
that the devices are quite similar, apart from the
connection/protocol.
sincerely,
Marije
