I was also surprised to see that the USBPre2 now works duplex without
pressing the "1" button while connecting.

This was tested on Fedora 17 with stock kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.
Jack was set to 512 Frames/period and 3 periods/buffer, and in a 24h
recording I got no xruns.
I did not manage to choose a sample rate unlike 48000, though.

With lsusb, I can see 2 configurations for the same device, and the
second one has bInterfaceProtocol = 32 for all interfaces except HID:
