In fact, I tried to use preference window before. Here is the process:
Preferences -> Audio -> alsa -> configure driver, and "Audio driver
configuration" dialog popup. In the Device, there is a list for one to
select:

"driver default
 default
 hw=0.0
 hw=0.1
 hw=0.2
 surround40
 surround51
 plug=surround40
 plug=surround51"

I think none of them means USB headset. The USB headset device should be
hw=1.0 (you can see from "esd -h" output). I tried every option, it
still not work.

Thanks.
