The code in the EHCI driver that schedules full-speed audio packets is
buggy, so using two audio streams at the same time often does not work.
EHCI is used for all high-speed (USB 2.0) controllers, so to work around
this, you could connect the device directly to the computer (without a
hub) so that the full-speed (USB 1.x) UHCI/OHCI controller driver is
used, or unload the ehci_hcd module so that the hub is forced to run at
USB 1.x speed. (The rate-matching hub in the Intel P/Q/H 55/57 chipsets
makes both workarounds impossible.)
