Hi,
thank you for your reply. As I told you, I'm not the guy who wrote the
patch, but I try to continue his work.

> What's the original datainterval value for those altsettings?
Where I can read the original datainterval value ? Is it an USB
property (so I can search in udev) ? Or can I debug in some way the
snd_usb_audio module load to get the values ?

Thanks,
  Marco
