Hi Roman,
I don't know if you got any response in kernel-devel, I just wanted you to know that yes, alsa-devel is the correct list for sending patches to new USB sound device drivers, I see you got a verbose lsusb and a USB capture of the device's handshake.
If it helps you, for the Pioneer additions you can find the kernel backlog, correct me if I'm wrong, the key was first adding a section in sound/usb/quirks-table.h with the correct rate information, EP numbers, transfer masks, etc.
Please try adding your vendor spec EPs and associated interface number and altsetting inside sound/usb/quirks-table.h, by creating a new section.
At this point, you are not creating a new driver per se, but boot with the extra kernel parameter snd_usb_audio.dyndbg=+p to get extra debugging information.
I sincerely hope you are not dealing with Pioneer-like gear, because that would mean a ton of strange cryptographic MIDI SysEx's or bizarre CONTROL URBs to actually get silent inputs to activate.
Yours, Geraldo Nascimento

Hello all, hello list, I am not sure whether this is the correct list, since it's not strictly an ALSA affair (fw to kernel-devel). Recent progress on driver support for Pioneer devices encouraged me to dissect USB communication with an Allen&Heath Xone43C, a mixer with USB interface. It does feature 16 channels (8 in, 8 out), but only 4 (2 in, 2 out) show up, 2 of which remain automagically silent. There is no linux driver yet, and maybe I can help? Addresses are: 0x80 Endpoint 0 (in) 0x00 Endpoint 0 (out) 0x81 Endpoint 1 (in) Interface 2.1 and Interface 2.2 (vendor spec) 0x02 Endpoint 2 (out) Interface 1.1 and Interface 1.2 (vendor spec) 0x85 Endpoint 5 (in) Interface 1.1 0x83 Endpoint 3 (in) Interface 3 MIDI 0x04 Endpoint 4 (out) Interface 3 MIDI
