I finally got in touch with a driver author who pointed me to some official 	documentation (the USB Device Class Definition for Audio Devices). Where the ALSA code always sends a 16-bit packet to control mixer settings, the docs say that the clock selector control uses layout 1 which is 8-bit. By changing the routine to send an 8-bit packet, that control now works.

Sorry for the late reply!

This seems about right. Please provide a proper patch with your
Signed-off-by line (see Documentantation/SubmittingPatches for details).

You can add my Acked-by: right away when posting.


Thanks a lot,
