 The Tascam US-122 (and apparently others) is a [USB] Audio/[MIDI] interface device which lets you plug things like guitars and condenser mics into your computer via a USB interface. An [ALSA] driver exists for it (snd-usb-usx2y), but it did not work out of the box for me with Ubuntu. I tried the following steps to get my hardware working (based largely on a post made in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-21851.html). These steps are probably ubuntu-specific. I have followed the instructions given in the aforementioned ubuntuforums post almost to the letter, except that I compiled from source rather than using i386 RPM versions of packages (mostly because I'm running a 64-bit system). This seems to make a difference in terms of paths and such. 
  
 * Download alsa-firmware and alsa-tools (version 1.09 in my case) from http://alsa-project.org/ 
 * Compile and install the alsa-firmware package (<tt>./configure && make && sudo make install</tt>)
