a post to linux-usb-dev entitled "[linux-usb-devel] success with maudio
quattro" seems to suggest it. (i cutnpasted the text below... for
some reason the list archives stops on 04.04 and the post was 04.14)

yeah, it caused me a big old headache myself, but i really like the
cards features so i'm holding onto my hope about it. someday very soon
i'll experiment with the patches. here is the message:
---I've applied the following two patches based on Alan's recommendation:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=108178375704810&q=raw
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=108178386018353&q=raw
They apply cleanly to the -mm patched 2.6.5 kernel (that's 2.6.5-mm4 for reference). The MAudio Quattro usb soundcard works just fine (although admittedly i don't do anything fancy with it like recording audio). Upon plugging it in I get the expected set of error messages:
config 1 interface 1 has no altsetting 1 config 1 interface 2 has no altsetting 1 config 1 interface 4 has no altsetting 2 config 1 interface 5 has no altsetting 2 config 1 interface 7 has no altsetting 2 config 1 interface 8 has no altsetting 2
Other than that, I haven't done any real functionality testing (it plays music, that's good enough for now :) If you guys need me to try anything else, let me know.
Thanks, Tony
