I have used it with Jack and I think, with Pd directly as well, and I
now own the Terratec Aureon USB, which technically is the same device
as the Maya EX. If you use Pd you probably should start Pd in alsa
mode now and use -noadc as I *think* (migth be wrong) that Pd doesn't
like different numbers of input and output channels. 

If you want to record as well you probably need to use Jack. I don't
remember the exact settings I used, but it did work. I use Jack
0.94.0.  Try playing with the settings for --inchannels and
--outchannels, always use 48 kHz samplerate, try different period
sizes and counts

Ciao
