[linux-audio-dev] Linux/Alsa Tascam US-122 Issues

hello everybody! i've finally got an usb-audio card for my linux audio madness, i've taken a tascam us122, beacuse of the good support it has, infact i was able to use it, i've not tested it extensively because i was moving and my laptop had a desperate need of a reinstalling :P i've reinstalled this ibook with a net-installed debian sid and the first thing i've done was compiling the same alsa and kernel versions, linux vanilla 2.6.8.1 and alsa-driver 1.0.6a, alsa-lib 1.0.6 but all alsa wont work... with the internal powermac audio card (which was working) i got a undefined referece, in compile time (but not fatal, since the module is compiled) and in inserting time: Zeryn:/home/willy# modprobe snd-powermac snd_powermac: Unknown symbol num_controls Zeryn:/home/willy# but i can live without it, i have the oss module and i plan to not use it anymore, because the tascam card will be conencted to everything in my setup, but the strangest things happened when i tried to plug the usb-usx2y module: a variety of freezes, kernel panics, oops, so i've tried to compile different versions of alsa and kernel, i've tried combinations of: linux 2.4.27, 2.6.8, 2.6.7, 2.6.9-rc2, 2.6.9-rc2-bk9 alsa 1.0.6, 1.0.6a, 1.0.7rc1, alsa-cvs (alsa cvs was broken) now i got the same error over and over again, the hotplug scrits are loading the firmware, the module is correctly loaded and the card is powering up well and the usb led keeps to stay on, but, when i try to launch jack or an audio application i got some messages regarding "sequence errors" and i have to kill the application via ctrl-c, if i restart the application i have a freeze (no kernel panics or such) this is the kernel log from kernel module loading to the freeze --- Sep 26 05:34:27 (none) kernel: usbcore: registered new driver snd-usb- usx2y Sep 26 05:34:37 (none) kernel: ohci_hcd 0001:01:18.0: wakeup Sep 26 05:34:37 (none) kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2 Sep 26 05:34:38 (none) kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2 Sep 26 05:34:39 (none) kernel: ohci_hcd 0001:01:18.0: wakeup Sep 26 05:34:40 (none) kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 3 Sep 26 05:35:12 (none) kernel: ALSA /home/willy/Pacchi/alsa/alsa- driver-1.0.6a/kbuild/../usb/usx2y/../../alsa-kernel/usb/usx2y/ usbusx2yaudio.c:30 4: Sequence Error!(ep=10;nuc=0,frame=34039) Sep 26 05:35:12 (none) kernel: ohci_hcd 0001:01:18.0: bad entry 50ce000 Sep 26 05:35:19 (none) kernel: ALSA /home/willy/Pacchi/alsa/alsa- driver-1.0.6a/kbuild/../usb/usx2y/../../alsa-kernel/usb/usx2y/ usbusx2yaudio.c:37 0: timeout: still 9 active urbs..
