[Elecraft] Raspberry Pi, K2 and WSJT-X questions

[Elmore's]

Has anyone figured out how to control a K2 from RPi running WSJT-X (or FLDIGI,etc.)?

Also, has anyone been able to run a digital program using a USB soundcard? I have a Star Tech 7.1 connected to my RPi. At the moment I am trying to get it to work with WSJT-X.

I am running Debian Jessie.

The sound card is recognized by the OS. When I run WSJT-X and select the Audio tab and select the Input drop down, there is a list of 22 sound cards none of which is the USB card. A similar issue exists on the Output selection. I don’t understand what I am seeing. How do I get to see the USB card in WSJT-X?

Note that I have made forum postings on WSPRnet and RPi ham Yahoo groups without yet getting a solution.

I hope someone can help with this very frustrating situation. Also note that this is my first experience with a RPi and my Linux knowledge is limited.
