Jude,
not in this case.  thanks for the ideas.
At this point I do not even have a functional Linux  machine, so that must

distribution will best support music  creation.  I am asking about the 
latter on  the Linux Audio list.  Still,   I have never 
required any of what you described weather running a wireless device a 
wired one.
