You should be aware that our USB stack doesn't allow full duplex =20 communication by default ATM. For uhci chipsets you can enable it by =20 changing the source and it should work. If this Plantronics headset is just an ordinary USB audio device, it =20 should work (FreeBSD 6.1 or -current is a good choice then). In case you want to play music at the same time you are using a =20 headset, you can activate the virtual channels for the audio device =20 with a sysctl. This way the sound system allows to open /dev/dsp =20 multiple times and mixes everything together and you don't need to =20 have more than one soundcard.
