I've got access to the real UGM96, and I could test it with my system.
After I've connected it to the USB port, the following messages appeared
in the /var/log/messages:

Nov 18 13:44:01 wzab kernel: usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

What is strange, is the fact, that UGM96 is reported as the "full speed
USB device", not the "high speed USB device". Theoretically the full speed bandwidth
should be sufficient: (2*24 bits/sample*96k samples/s = 4 608 000 bits/s < 12 MB/s),
but I'd rather expect the high speed operation...

In the alsamixer, the UGM96 was reported as:
1 stereo playback control named "PCB"
and 1 stereo capture control named "PCB".

The lsusb -v reported the following:

==== END OF THE LONG LSUSB REPORT ============

UGM96 correctly worked with the jack system and with guitarix.
It also worked with audacity, however I was not able to record
in audacity at 96k samples/s sampling rate (as it was reported
by others).

High speed USB interface chips cost more, and firmware programming is
usually more complex.

Actually, due to protocol and bit stuffing overhead, full speed does not
have enough bandwidth for four channels of 24-bit data at 96 kHz (i.e.,
full duplex).

The UGM96 deals with the bandwidth restriction by disallowing recording
with both 24 bits and 96 kHz; you'll have to use either 16 bits or
48 kHz.
