Ah, someone who knows!  I have a question:

I know that USB has about 12MB/s bandwidth, and some sort of
isochronous protocol, specifically to support such things, but
what is the real bandwidth available for (eg) audio data.  Is it
isochronous on a sample-by-sample basis, or is there a packet
protocol in there (that must introduce a modicum of latency)?

Is it reasonable to configure a USB sound system for more than
two channels?  Would DVD-style five-or-six channels work?  Would
eight be possible?
