[AG-TECH] USB microphones not working in Linux

[Anton Gerdelan]

Hi,

I tired switching the program to OSS, I also tried using OSS emulation from 
Linux. I have tried the latest version of RAT also, but no change - the USB 
audio modules will still not work.
I guess this must then require some additional code to interface with them.

Cheers

Anton
