This is my naive attempt at adding ALSA device support. The attached
patch provides support for the EDIROL UM-3ex. This is a 3-port USB midi
interface with a built-in USB hub and the ability to chain 2 other
UM-3x's in a master-slave configuration. I only have one, so I do not
know how this works in practice.
Though this is a 3-port device, I had to throw in that 4th 'Control' interface
to the definition in order to make the 3rd port work. If I set in/out_cables
to 0x000b, a 3rd interface appears on the driver, but it does nothing.
Changing it to 0x000f allows the 3rd interface to work, but of course
interface 4 does not work because it does not exist.

Something noticed when studying use of VM_RESERVED in different drivers:
snd_usX2Y_hwdep_pcm_vm_nopage omitted to get_page: fixed.
And how did this work before? Aargh! That nopage is returning a page from
within a buffer allocated by snd_malloc_pages, which allocates a high-order
page, then does SetPageReserved on each 0-order page within.
That would have worked in 2.6.14, because when the area was unmapped,
PageReserved inhibited put_page. 2.6.15-rc1 removed that inhibition (while
leaving ineffective PageReserveds around for now), but it hasn't caused
trouble because.. we've not been freeing from VM_RESERVED at all.

If we submit all our URBs when a playback stream is started, the first
hwptr_done update for each URB happens at the same time. This results
in an underrun when there isn't enough PCM data available at this
point for all URBs.
To avoid this, we begin submitting our URBs earlier (when the stream
is prepared), with empy packets. When the stream is started, the
prepare_playback_urb() call for each URB will be run only when the
respective URB has completed previously, so the first hwptr_done
updates will be done nicely staggered.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

We always had to use double buffering when capturing, and when playback
data for one URB crosses a buffer boundary. The latter would make hwptr
updates less precise because the double-buffered data is read from the
buffer much earlier than the other data is read by the host controller.
Double-buffering all data allows to update hwptr immediately after the
data was copied to the USB buffer(s), which has the additional benefit
of avoiding the latency imposed by the host controller's delay of up to
one frame when interrupting.

When preparing capture URBs, we don't need to stop when we cross a
period boundary because we now never handle more than one millisecond of
data per URB anyway.
When handling captured data, use an extra flag to call
snd_pcm_period_elapsed() no more than once. This allows us to move the
period boundary checking code before the copying of the data which
avoids a second locking of the substream's lock.

When capturing audio data, we do not know beforehand how many samples

Furthermore, the total count of URBs submitted doesn't matter when
capturing, so we can just use the maximum number.
