Title:
  bandwidth allocation problems with external USB audio device

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  usb-audio with a Zoom H4N does not work.

  The Zoom H4N contains a USB hub and a usb-audio device. When connecting, it produces the following error in dmesg:
  cannot submit datapipe for urb 0, error -28: not enough bandwidth
  When attempting to use Jack in full-duplex, jackd attempts a 0x4142 ioctl (SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START), gets an EPIPE, and crashes; the kernel produces another 'cannot submit datapipe for urb 0, error -28: not enough bandwidth' message in dmesg.

  From reading various forums and lists, the problem seems related to a
  bug in bandwidth allocation in EHCI_HCD with respect to isochronous
  endpoints (audio devices), which happens particularly badly when these
  devices are behind hubs.

  Workaround: disable the EHCI controller to which the audio device is connected, e.g.
  echo -n '0000:00:1d.7' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
  where 0000:00:1d.7 is to be replaced by the correct PCI address. This will reconnect the device under USB 1.1.

  This problem has been going on for years in the Linux kernel and
  should definitely be fixed.
