so you can add a third to this list, because there is one from Maxim 
that let you add USB to a microcontroller by an SPI port :

I never use it, just find this info a moment ago and keep it in my 
favorites, but maybe it could be another alternative..


there are also dedicated sound chips that have USB interface. they 
have been created to make USB "souncards". maybe some of them can 
also interface to a microcontroller.
(I see a design recently with a PCM2902 from Texas Instruments. it's 
a standalone chip, but maybe one of is brothers can communicate with 
a microcontroller).
