After doing some googling, I see that this has been discussed on this 
list before. It seems that Clemens put a fix in for it. I would assume 
that any recent alsa has gotten that fix (usbquirks.h). I've tried this 
on two very recent distros (Ubuntu rt and dyne:bolic) and it exhibits 
the same problem. Maybe I've got a defective device. Is there anything 
that I can check to verify that my distros have the fix in them?

Regards,
Bill
