hotplug is so that your system can communicate with USB devices. If you
already have a usb device that is working you don't need to install it.
You should try using hte usb-audio driver and report what you get with
cat /proc/asound/devices
or cat /proc/asound/cards
If it is standards complient it should work out of the box. If it needs
firmware then Clemens Ladisch is your best bet. But he may be busy.
