I am open for suggestions, but I don't see any other way to get support
for this. We can't keep the isoc URBs running all the time, because that
consumes power.

On the other hand, this is audio and I don't really care if we loose a
packet or not.

I don't see that happening since Bluetooth connection setup is
serialized and we only have to make sure that bulk and isoc URBs are
running when the connection is up.

Good point. I am going to fix that.
