This could either mean - the specifications changed or - there are no manufacturers following the specifications I went to great length trying to find a first class linux supported device and had the impression that it is rather the second point, that limits the choices. Glancing at the usb audio specifications [1], I think that they cover 2.0 as well. So its up to the linux users to nag the manufacturers to either follow the specifications and/or provide linux drivers. As long as those have the feeling that they don't loose 'enough' market share, they won't change their linux-unfriendly policies. My experience with contacting them seems to indicate that they are largely unaware of the problem. [2] lists some devices that are supported by indamixx and seem to work with the linux drivers.
