could be but I've never found anyone that can tell me how to fix it.  the last 
time I tried, the usb device (iMic, buddy, and vxi b200) overrode the primary 
sound device.  last round with the vxi, someone from the alsa group admitted 
that the driver for the b200 was inadequate.

yup.  that is why folks should pick one interface and *make it work*

great but audio quality probably isn't up to speech recognition standards.  we 
can be quite the pain in the butt about that. :-)
