Your mixer.c patch does get rid of the RANGE errors. No change to behavior,
though.
I'd already tried setting "implicit_fb=1" even though I didn't expect it to
work, since there is a separate feedback endpoint. I just tried it again -
it doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it doesn't help either.
Capture seems to be working perfectly with the clock patch - I'm not sure
why I was initially getting noisy input.
I checked "/proc/asound/card*/pcm*/sub*/status" during playback, and the
pointer seems to be moving forward as it should. All indications are that
the system thinks playback is working fine.
One interesting piece of information - alsamixer shows two stereo outputs
("pcm" and "pcm1"). Not sure why there are two - maybe output is going to
the wrong one?
Here is the output from "/proc/asound/AUDIO/usbmixer":
