[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: usb: use multiple packets per urb for Wireless USB inbound audio

[Thomas Pugliese]

For Wireless USB audio devices, use multiple isoc packets per URB for
inbound endpoints with a datainterval < 5.  This allows the WUSB host
controller to take advantage of bursting to service endpoints whose
logical polling interval is less than the 4ms minimum polling interval
limit in WUSB.
