Yes, it crashed instantly.

OK, here's the output. One thing I see right away is that it recognized
my digital camera, which hadn't shown up before, so I guess that's an
improvement :-)
The only difference that I see for the USB Audio device itself is that
it seems to have moved from Device 006 to Device 003. But I suspect that
this difference wouldn't have any effect.
I'm seeing some other differences, too:
Whereas I had been getting errors on the Language IDs for various
devices saying, for example,
Language IDs: none (cannot get min. string descriptor; got len=-1,
error=110:Connection timed out)
they're now saying:
Language IDs: none (cannot get min. string descriptor; got len=-1,
error=32:Broken pipe)

I'm a bit hesitant to do so, since this is the most recent version
supplied for Mandrake. I'm downloading an alsa-driver-0.9.4-fr2 RPM for
i386 from rpmfind, though I'm unclear as to whether it would be better
to download the source RPM and build from that instead.
