I have updated the patch, and found that around 100 ms get wasted reliably for something that is neither mapping_open_pcm() nor mapping_paths_probe() before probing surround21 on the USB headphones. I do not understand this phenomenon (might be a buggy patch due to the noise here). The new timing patch is attached, as well as the gzipped very-very-verbose log from that PC. -- Alexander E.
