Well, if I remove the usb sound module, it gets reloaded by plugging in the device.
Blacklisting it doesn't make sense to me.
Note, that I can access the 18i20 within wine from MPT (a windows programm) and it works fine.
Maybe the Focusrite ASIO driver can't work inside wine.

The 2nd generation seemingly uses a different protocol.

not sure whether it's related. There's not much information available.
