BTW: what's the relation between periods and URBs on usb-audio right
now? I mean, the URBs should be exposed as periods to userspace,
right? But they are not right now, are they? I mean, I can set all
kinds of strange period settings for my USB device and I am pretty
sure that this is not reflected in the URB size, or am I wrong?
