And that is where the problem starts.. I have two Ultralite AVBs and if I
link them together. I have no longer access to the web GUI unless I get
myself an AVB compliant switch for an extra 300usd. If I were running
Windows or OSX. I could just connect to my linked AVB devices thru the IP
over USB link the driver provides and set up streams between them and do
whatever I wanted but that is not possible when using Linux which I am. I
could keep a dedicated windows or OSX box connected to the other AVB device
just to be able to set things up but how convenient is that?

Until I can set up AVB routes and configure stuff on my cards without the
extra cost of an AVB switch, this is for from perfect IMHO.
