[RWP] Does Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 have internal drivers?

[Patrick Perdue]

It just uses the default Windows composite audio class USB driver.
It opens and closes it's op amp every time speech starts and stops, so I 
wouldn't recommend using it with speech unless nothing else works.

What's this "internal driver" thing all about? I don't understand this 
terminology.
