Hi Clemens,

     I have copied the "lsusb -v" output below (end of this e-mail). The
"HUB" and the "iPod" are connected to Bus-001. Bus-002 is not being used.

      As I can see from the Log, BUS-001 and BUS-002 both have usb (root ?)
hubs with single TT. Each of these buses have only one port available. So,
I guess that single "TT" should not be a problem. Am I right?

      The Belking hub which I have connected to "Bus-001" has "TT" per
port. It also says "bInterval" equal to 255.

      The iPod device which I am using has two configurations. I am using
the second configuration. Second configuration again has two interfaces.
Second (HID Class) interface is being used and works fine. Problem is with
the the first interface (with altsetting==1), which is an
audio-streaming-class.
 
      The parameters for this interface are: (copied from the log below)
        bmAttributes            1
          Transfer Type            Isochronous
          Synch Type               None

        wMaxPacketSize     0x00c0  1x 192 bytes
        bInterval               1
        bRefresh                0
        bSynchAddress           0

          bDescriptorSubtype      1 (EP_GENERAL)
          bmAttributes         0x01
            Sampling Frequency
          bLockDelayUnits         0 Undefined
          wLockDelay              0 Undefined
    
         Here "bInterval" is "1" and the transactions are not getting
scheduled at this desired speed. 

Regards,
Kunal
