You previously used the OSS drivers (including "audio").

There are two drivers for UHCI controllers, uhci and usb-uhci. Sometimes, one of them works and the other one doesn't. Pleasy do "rmmod usb-uhci" and "modprobe uhci", then try to run lsusb again. If this doesn't help, you can try out a newer version of the usbutils package. > iManufacturer 1 Roland > iProduct 2 UA-30 (44100Hz, Analog REC) It seems the UA-30 has switches to select the recording format.

This is a shiny new kernel with a rather old ALSA version. Please try a more recent ALSA version, there have been some changes to the snd-usb-audio driver since then. HTH Clemens
