Roland AIRA TR-8 USB audio almost works with ALSA . . .

Hi

I have Roland AIRA TR-8 which seems very close to working with the ALSA
driver . . . I'm guessing the driver may need some tweaking (an entry in
usbquirks.h?).

It is a drum machine with a sequencer and drum synthesiser. In addition
to standard analogue audio out and MIDI out ports, it has a USB port for
MIDI in/out and digital audio (mostly for input).

It has 4 audio outputs and 14 audio inputs, the inputs are for sending
each drum sound in for DSP on a separate channel. Its fixed to 96 kHz.

The Roland AIRA are new devices (this year) and lots of fun so I'm sure
they're worth a go for other users if there's a dev with enough time to
spare :-)

The recording is the most useful feature to get working (drum sounds
into the computer).

Thanks! Info below,

David W.
