The output I posted is in USB 2 mode.

I realized this too after reading the manual. And looked at the 
different output of lsusb -t (the difference is only the indication as 
you say 12MB/s vs 480MB/s)

I should inform them to update the manual.

I realized there is also a alsa mailing list. I guess to evaluate if 
there are possibilities to improve the driver I should go there.

thanks for all the comments.
