USB host mode for audio in sampling

What is the problem?

You can’t sample from an audio source currently

What should this feature achieve?

Detect incoming usb connection is audio, switch to usb host and offer basic sample capture

Are there any workarounds?

Any links to related discussions?

Any references to other products?

Roland P6 does this.
It detects what type of usb connection protocol and switches automatically. So you can sample from your mobile phone direct via usb c in to the P6.
It blew my tiny mind when I found this out, and it is very trick given that most mobile devices don’t have 3.5mm jack on them anymore.
