Hrm, that's somewhat backward action to the change we've done years
ago, commit c75c5ab575af7db707689cdbb5a5c458e9a034bb:
ALSA: USB: adjust for changed 3.8 USB API
The recent changes in the USB API ("implement new semantics for
URB_ISO_ASAP") made the former meaning of the URB_ISO_ASAP flag the
default, and changed this flag to mean that URBs can be delayed.
This is not the behaviour wanted by any of the audio drivers because
it leads to discontinuous playback with very small period sizes.
Therefore, our URBs need to be submitted without this flag.
I rather suspect that your problem is in the USB controller side.
thanks,
Takashi
