The USB "phones" I saw on the market just behave like an additional
sound card, with some control buttons perhaps, and those will not work
without a software (like twinkle, x-lite...).

The devices that work without PC software usually come with a network
plug instead of USB - the point is that they work without PC, so why use
a USB connection and depend of a PC in that respect?

In my experience (and I only had two cheapo Ebay USB-"phones") sound
works without problems _but_ the keys might work or not, seems to be a
bit of luck involved. One of those two phones had the number keys
working, but neither "hangup" nor "dial" would do anything, the other
one would not work at all - except the sound, which was OK.
