That is surprising, to say the least: it kills the USB2.0 driver in
order to talk just USB1.1.  But I am pretty sure I am using the US-122L
in USB2.0 mode: I am certainly not throwing out the respective drivers
and am recording with high sample and bit rates not likely to work with
USB1.1 speeds.

So if that's correct, the US-144MKII probably switches into some mode
unknown to ALSA in USB2.0 while the US-122L stays workable.
