Does anyone know why an iMic uses separate input and output devices. Isn't the whole point of core-audio to synchronize io?

Is it because they cannot be synchronized?

The USB audio class doesn't give a way to synchronize the input and output streams on a device. There is no way for the AppleUSBAudio driver to know that these two streams are linked in any way (the USB audio spec actually says that interfaces should not be linked by default, but if they need to be, to report that via a non-existent part of the USB spec; as such we assume they are not linked).

A vendor specific driver could present this type of interface, but not a generic driver.
