Just my 1/2 cent. USB has no latency or bandwidth guarantees on any aspect
of its design. I would strongly suggest that you'll have much better
results with software/hardware integration and smooth-running performance if
you use a real PCI audio card instead of a USB device.
All I hear are problems from people who own USB audio devices.
At least with Firewire (IEEE-1394), there is an explicit isochronous
transfer mode which at least pretends to maintain a QoS delivery mode.

his USB audio replies,
