The command 'lsusb' will show you information about USB devices recognized 
by Linux running on the Pi. Run it before and again after you plug in your 
USB soundcard. You should see a new entry after you plug in the sound card.

To determine what device to use in the program you are using for WSJT-X look 
at the end of the file /var/log/messagses (or try the dmesg command) to see 
if a device node was associated with the USB soundcard. The audio device 
will wind up taking the form of /dev/something, where the "something" you 
will have to determine from the system log file.

The above information is general Linux based suggestions that might help you 
determine what entry you need in the WSJT program.
