Just like every USB sound interface it does not matter where the signal
comes, where it is going and how things behind the interface work. It
makes no difference to your application if you connect a converter via
cable to your sound interface in your computer or if you have the sound
interface built into your converter.
If it implements the USB Audio Class, its a USB Audio device. A headset
works the same. That's the nice thing about abstract interfaces.
