Can I use a USB headset on Raspberry pi for Jamulus directly, without interface like Behringer?

I would like to make a very simple setup for use by choirmembers. Can I use a USB headset without any other audio-interface?

As long as the headset's built-in audio interface can support 48k, it should be plug-and-play compatible. I've tested low-cost Plantronics and Sennheiser headsets with great results. Carlos

It was a slow morning, and I had an old Logitech USB headset sitting in the bin, so I tried it.

It works, but had a loud hum. I tried the old trick of grounding the PI mic sleeve to house ground through a resistor and that tamed it.

The latency sounded pretty significant. I'd expect these units were tailored to voice intelligibility, so response might be less than ideal for music.
