While this is amazing on it's own, I think fpps question was related to the use of external usb audio devices with the n900 (e.g. usb speakers). This was discussed before for example in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=71980, but AFAIK without reporting success.

I would be very interested in this, too, especially for usb audio recording, as I have a small mixing console which behaves like a standard usb audio device. This, together with audacity from easy debian, could turn the n900 in a nice portable digital harddisk recorder, which would be pretty cool

I have tried in the past a bit with the snd-usb-audio module, but without success. Anyone could give some hints? After modprobe snd-usb-audio, should it appear automatically in alsa or is there more work to do?
