[LAU] USB Mixers

I'm looking for a new mixer and wondering if I should bother with one
of the USB units. From what I read they will send a signal back to the
computer for recording. Cool. Not something I'd use everyday, but
might be handy when I think I'm doing something good enough to
record/share :)

Now, I also see that they seem to use USB 2. Is that a linux problem?

Would a moderately new desktop keep up to a multitrack usb stream?

I'm assuming that these units send multi tracks to the computer
unmixed? Or is it just a copy of the 2 channel out?

Here's one example:

Not sold on Behringer or this model, just looking around today.

Best,
