USB Sound Cards and Lenny

[Jude DaShiell]

Before trying any of this, it might be helpful to run update-usb-ids if 
present on your system.  That downloads a file from the web which has 
all the latest usb information about hardware in it.  You may end up 
enabling something this way if your usb info gets updated from what it 
was earlier.
