Since full speed usb devices have a 12Mbps bandwidth limit (on paper anyway, a 
bit optimistic for real usable data throughput) I'm not exactly convinced it 
really matters if you could get more pids out of it. You might (sometimes) get 
away with recording 3 channels on that but I certainly wouldn't count on it.

If you get a high speed device it probably doesn't have a forced filter to 
begin with.
