As long as it is a class 2 compliant USB audio device you should have no 
issues (that's USB 1.1)

There are reports of a similar device working well here:

My Roland/Edirol UA25EX works fine here, although in advanced mode it is 
not strictly a USB 1.1 device. I suggest the best place to look is the 
ALSA device matrix [1] for compatibility and post an email on 
linux-audio-user at lists.linuxaudio.org just to make sure - that's your 
best bet.

Please , let us know how you get on
