no, because the USB system doesn't have an interface to allow a new driver to
taste all the unattached devices..  in the case of ugen, it would have to
allow new drivers to get tentative information from ugen about its devices
and a method for requesting ugen to give up a device.

hopefully we can grow such a capability with time.
