Don't know much about VirtualBox, but have you tried to run it with
Wine? I'm using a utility for my Yamaha QY70 inside Wine and with an
Audiophile 2496 and it works very well (that software is an old Win 3.1
application, though).

Thanks for that suggestion. I've tried it in the past with wine with no

100% ... but, honestly, it works better in wine than it did running on a
laptop with real XP. Figure!
What really gets me is how consistently manufactures can write such
crappy software and keep it proprietary when doing an open spec would
get lots of other folks involved to help them. Ahh, an old rant.

That happens. Wine keeps getting better and better and yes, it can run
faster than native Windows. When I need to use Windows, I run WinXP
under VMWare. Funny thing is that this doesn't seem a lot slower than
when I was dual-booting.
I don't know how VirtualBox stacks up against VMWare. I've heard
comments about issues with USB in VirtualBox but can't believe they'd
still be around if they were ever there, not with it being under active
development and coporate support (Sun.) Last time I checked, VirtualBox
had a much greater list of supported hosts and guests than VMWare.
But for one-off applications, Wine (or CrossOver Office) is a much
better bet for performance than virtualising the whole OS.
Cheers

The issue is that you have to use the VBox binary to use USB, you
can't compile the source and get USB support. At least, that was how
it use to be.
