I guess this error code was generated when the driver tried to set the
sample format, but the device didn't respond in time.  In this case
there should be a corresponding error message from the USB controller
driver in the system log; is there?

It may be possible that the device doesn't handle this command because
there is only one sample format/rate (but I'm just guessing here).
Please show the contents of /proc/asound/card0/stream0 and the output
of "lsusb -v" for the XStation.

"default" is defined as "plug:hw:0,0", i.e., the same as your
"novation" definition.

This sentence is technically correct -- "default" does access hw:0,0
after the conversions are done.  :-)
