ALSA is adding support for these non-standards-compliant USB audio
devices quickly. By 0.9.4 the Edirol/Roland UA-20 shows up in
.../alsa-kernel/usb/usbquirks.h and as of 0.9.6 the UA-5 is there too.
 From my experience with the UA-5 this means that for 24 bit operation
the device works strictly as an ALSA device--no OSS emulation available.
