just a quick remark on USB and Behringer. At my new workplace our
boss, in a fit of enlightment and for reasons only known to himself,
decided to buy a cheap Behringer mixer with a USB interface. Nobody
here needs it and it remained in its box for months.

Some week ago I had some spare time and decided to have a look at
it. Connected the USB to my Linux workstation and connected some
headphones to the mixer. Result: with all faders down and just
the HP volume turned up there was a high level 50/100 Hz in the
headphones. Removing the USB connection was enough to stop it.

I put the thing back in its carton box, and the box back into
the corner of the lab where I found it.
