USB audio device issues

[Brian Thorpe]

About a year ago I began a thread concerning application crashes caused 
by unplugging my iMic (Griffin Technology). I got some helpful info 
from Griffin regarding the use of USB audio devices in general. But 
Griffin stated that they did not know of any issues such as mine and 
they suggested that it might be my system or possibly a bad iMic. They 
actually offered to replace it at no charge, which I considered rather 
generous since there was never a question about purchase date. I 
declined the offer and continued my research.

Recently I read an Apple KnowledgeBase article that mentioned something 
about trouble with USB audio devices. I was a bit vague.

And tonight I read in the help file of Rogue Amoeba's Detour software 
it states...
--------------------
Known Issues
	-If a USB audio device such as the Griffin iMic is unplugged while it 
is in use (such as by Detour to route audio), applications may crash. 
This is due to a bug in OS X 10.2.4 and higher. This bug has been 
discussed with Apple, and should be fixed in a future version of Jaguar.
--------------------

I'm glad it was this because it removes suspicions I harbored against 
certain third party SW that I thought might have been the culprit.

Just thought I add some belated closure to that thread.
