('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) I'm looking into the code for usb audio at the moment and
people should be aware that it only has minimal support at
this stage. It is only capable of stereo 16 bit 44100hz.
That makes it highly unuseful for pro cards as they are
designed around the concept of 24 bit 96khz.

I also have an maudio quattro and it does not work
currently although the driver correctly indentifies the
card and the number of channels.

It also looks like there won't be alsa support for a while
as it seems the authors are not particularly interested in
pro recording but more usb speakers. They are also happy to
wait for a while on supporting alsa :(

All in all usb audio devices for musicians are not a high
priority on the usb list. WE could change that though.
