I quickly tested the VG-99 quirk (modified as per Clemens' suggestion) and that works too, so I'll work on generating a patch as per the instructions on alsa-project.org.
Actually, I'm struggling a bit with this. I'm guessing (alsa-project.org doesn't seem to say...) that you need to check out the release branch in alsa-driver to work on, and do your commit against that (master branch contains only a README) but the wiki also advises to do a rebase origin/master after your commit. It seemed weird, but I tried it, to no useful effect of course.
As a relative novice, this is pretty confusing stuff. Is there a plain step-by-step of the procedure to generate a patch? Would it be acceptable to send the patch against the sound.git tree?
If it's any use regarding the urb 0 -ENOSPACE error I was having, I can try and track down the config item difference that makes it work, or provide the config files for you to look at.. Please let me know if this would be useful.
Absolutely, that would be great. We keep getting reports from users that see this since the driver was reworked, and I still haven't got my head around what really causes it. And none of my machines show the error yet, so it's really hard to track. If you would point me to any specific config option that reproducibly changes the behaviour, that would be of great help.
Should there be some dependency in the configs so that whatever item is making the difference is enabled by selecting SND_USB_AUDIO ?
No, it's really just a bug that must be fixed.
Ok, I'll try narrowing down the config differences. It might take a while, though:
$ diff ~/3.7.working.config ~/broken.config | grep -v '#' | wc -l $ 1001
Cheers,
