I retro-fitted Clemens' patch to kernel 2.6.35 and tested it. There is a problem in card.c and endpoint.c in that KERN_WARN needs to be KERN_WARNING, but otherwise the patch works. I get this in dmesg:

ALSA sound/usb/endpoint.c:279: 2:1:1: unknown interface protocol 0xff, assuming v1
ALSA sound/usb/endpoint.c:439: 2:1:1: add audio endpoint 0x1
ALSA sound/usb/endpoint.c:279: 2:2:1: unknown interface protocol 0xff, assuming v1
ALSA sound/usb/endpoint.c:439: 2:2:1: add audio endpoint 0x81
ALSA sound/usb/endpoint.c:279: 2:2:2: unknown interface protocol 0xff, assuming v1
ALSA sound/usb/endpoint.c:439: 2:2:2: add audio endpoint 0x81
ALSA sound/usb/clock.c:243: current rate 48000 is different from the runtime rate 96000

It is still necessary to have the following bit of code in endpoint.c, otherwise sample rates of 44100 or 88200 do not work (the original problem). I think there should be a standard name instead of using 0x09, something like UAC_EP_CS_ATTR_ADAPTIVE, this would have to be defined somewhere.
