[LAU] No playback anymore with M-Audio Transit and firmware madfuload

[Guillaume Pellerin]

Hi all !

I use an M-Audio Transit at home which was working pretty good for some weeks.
However, the playback hangs now... Although the device seems well detected and
the firmware loaded, there is no sound playing back anymore.

Some consequences of this new bug :
- amarok gets the device and seems to play, but I get nothing on the output,
- qjackctl detects the card, starts jackd but shows many XRUNs and always 0% as
process loading.

This bug can be reproduced on Debian Sid and Lenny. May it be due to some new
methods used by udev to load the firmware or abnormal detecting by
network-manager (see the logs) or a default config using 16 bit word length and
not 24 bits ? Can someone reproduce this bevahior using the Transit ?

Thanks for your help !
Guillaume
