What about a Sound Devices USBPre2? They list class compliance, it
is USB2, I suspect it is thusly USB2 Class Compliant so it likely has
a good chance of working well with Linux, and of course they also list
Linux compatibility on their site. I have been looking strongly at it
myself, though I ahven't contacted them yet to verify compliance and
make sure there are no limitations.

Well this one looks interesting but it's ucking expensive. Also, from the blurb
on their site is seems it is limited to 24bit 48k on Linux
"As a class-compliant audio device, the USBPre 2 is limited to a maximum data
rate of 24-bit, 48 kHz in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS versions 10.4 to 10.5.7.
Mac OS 10.5.8 and higher support the audio class 2.0 device and can address the
USBPre 2 up to 24-bit, 192 kHz.
To enable higher sampling rates in Windows OS, download the available Windows
ASIO driver."
For me, it's also significant overkill and I have an very nice little analogue
mixer so all I really want is straight I/O - but nobody seems to do that :(

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
