Ok, you're starting to go off on a tangent here, trying to find
problems where they don't exist, see below.

First, the wave device for voice modem is a purely windows device
based in software. Linux could care less if your modem supports voice
or not, and even if it does, it can't be interchanged with a sound
card and vise versa as far as I know. About your headset, usb2.0
hardware is backward compatible with the 1.1, and maybe even the 1.0
standard, so there should be no reason for your headset not to
work. As to whether or not linux will support your headset is a
different story.

There is no such thing as an audio chip without external
connecters. If there is, then I've never heard of it.

No, not even if you did have a phone line connected to the modem.
