[lubuntu-users] How does hardware listed on h-node relate to Lubuntu?

[scrooyahoo at riseup.net]

Since Aere triggered my audio brainwaves, and having access to a Macbook 
I want to try a few Pro-Audio USB soundcards on Ubuntu

I noticed that Lubuntu uses the alsa mixer instead of pulse audio mixer.
But what other implications are there to expect.  Does Ubuntu use the 
h-node stuff at all? Or is h-node GNU-only?

I'm asking this because h-node is asking for some help to test the 
listed hardware, and i'm looking if i can combine a few things. But it 
is not clear to me yet if h-node applies to Lubuntu.
