Hmm... possibly. I believe the driver is actually rather generic, so the bug might actually be in the hardware (or firmware). I wonder if it works any better in other operating systems (without special drivers, as USB audio shouldn't need any).

Or is this log from an attempt to load module-alsa-source before module-hal-detect? If so, some other program is hogging the device. -- Tanu Kaskinen
