This AIRA TR-8 USB audio device, which fails with an 'input/output
error' after ~10 seconds for 'aplay' and 'arecord', seems to require
operation in implicit feedback mode: the following patch suggested by
Daniel Mack solves the 'input/output' error for 'aplay', but the
playback is noisy and corrupted and the kernel complains of 'rogue URB
xfers' (see below).
Given this information and the quote below from lsusb etc., I am hoping
someone would be able to suggest a further patch to get playback and
recording working :-)
I can patch, compile and test recent linux kernels (whatever is in:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&repo=Testing&q=linux)
Here's the patch from Daniel which helped:

Here's an example of the kind of complaint that the 3.18.2-2-ARCH kernel, with the above patch
applied, reports:
