I have had similar "just works" experiences with a Roland Edirol UA-5,
and an Apogee Mini-me. Both usb-audio.  Getting them to work with jack
is a complete PITA, however, so if you do a lot of jack apps, I'd
recommend something else.  I have a working .asoundrc which works with
jack, but it is less than ideal.

Mark - does the UA-20 do sensible audio formats that jack likes?
