The answer is simple, the maximum number of urbs you can have today is 10
(see dvb-usb.h #define MAX_NO_URBS_FOR_DATA_STREAM 10 ) . Maybe a check
would be appropriate.
However if you really have 4096 bytes urbs, 7 URBs should be enough on an
average system (so far nobody ever had problems with streaming which were
caused by too few URBs).
Are you sure that the size of the URBs returned by the USB-stack is 4096?
(load dvb-usb.ko with debug=0x100 and have a look at the lines "lengh
<number>/4096" in syslog - it should be 4096 as <number>)
