That isn't extreme, I checked snd-usb ALSA driver before selecting number
and it assumes the drift is between -25% ... +50% so +/-20% should work
fine here (see snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() in sound/usb/endpoint.c).

Since our UAC2 gadget is a kind of "reversed" USB audio card, that also
works fine with alsaloop connecting it to other audio cards in the system.

With cheap USB Audio adapters I saw +/-100 Hz drift on 44100 Hz

Anyway I don't think this can cause any problem since it is OK as
per UAC2 spec and hosts (at least Linux) can handle such values

That is an existing issue with UAC2 driver since its initial implementation,
I'm going to fix it in the near future as a separate patch. The issue is not
related to the feedback synchronization support patch.

I actually developed a few patches (not published yet) to check user
parameters and refuse to start UAC1/2 gadget if they are wrong
(currently UAC1/2 gagdet accepts incorrect parameters and then
silently fails to work correctly)

Thanks,
Ruslan
