I was looking at getting one of these C01U mics for my laptop, so I'd like
to see Linux support too. If it's a standard usb audio device then it
should 'just work'.

This bloke is using one in Linux...

He had problems with clipping at -10db, so either amixer is not playing
nice with the mic's internal gain control, or the thing is broken by
design.
