Hi
I have an old Mbox (original version) that I'd love to get working. There are quite a few of these still around as they were the default low-end device for Protools, and as there are no 64-bit windows drivers around there are lots of them acting as paper-weights. If they just worked in Linux out of the box, it might persuade a few people out there to take the plunge :)
I have a bog-standard HP Pavilion desktop running Fedora 19. There are 4 (USB2?) ports at the back and one USB3 at the front. Plugging the device into any of the back ports doesn't work at all, I get this:

And I guess because of the dreaded usb_set_interface failed, it doesn't show up in the phonon/gstreamer device list. This is the lsbusb output:

Then if I plug it into the front USB3 port, it almost works. I get the device recognised and installed just fine:

If I set the device in phonon and try to play some music through amarok for example, I get glorious sound using either the spdif or analog outputs. The improvement over the back-of-the-computer minijack sound is really amazing :) But (there's always one of these), about 50% of the time the music cuts out and I get random white noise. I also get these, although they don't seem to correspond to the 'white-outs':
Jul 9 09:21:35 localhost pulseaudio[1086]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!
Jul 9 09:21:35 localhost pulseaudio[1086]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
Jul 9 09:21:35 localhost pulseaudio[1086]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.
The output of also-info is here: http://pastebin.com/7ufuuwgM. It's is ->this<- close to working, can anyone help? It was like this under Fedora 18 as well btw, same symptoms.
