Hello DJ,

here my whishes based on my recend device.


 1. USB Midi support .
 I know there is Midi in XP and Me but that part is not working
 very well  (unplug problems). A usb audio device with Midi produces
 a blue screen under W2000 and 98.
 Further it might be a good idea to do the midi stuff in another
 driver. I had really strange problems with USB Midi in XP until
 I removed the Midi interface from the audio class and declared
 a custom interface.

 2. Support for the DFU class.
 Since the DeviceFirmwareUpdate is already defined, This
 would simpify upgrades. I managed that with a custom
 device descriptor and driver.  Get /Set Mem won't be a
solution for upgrades but might be usefull to download dsp code.

 3. Vendor Requests.
 The possibility to send Control Requests (Vendor Requests)
 to a usb audio device. This would simplify the impementation
 of unsupported features (Mixers for example)

4. backport of new features at least to W2000.

5. a doc which parts of the spec are implemented.

6. 96k in halfduplex mode for Usb 1.1
or even better Usb 2.0  support.



Thanks
Thomas
