You previously used the OSS drivers (including "audio"). Does your
computer still crash if you run "modprobe snd-usb-audio"?

One of lsusb's source files, I guess.

This would have been the interesting part.
There are two drivers for UHCI controllers, uhci and usb-uhci.
Sometimes, one of them works and the other one doesn't. Pleasy do
"rmmod usb-uhci" and "modprobe uhci", then try to run lsusb again.
If this doesn't help, you can try out a newer version of the usbutils
package.

It seems the UA-30 has switches to select the recording format. Maybe
another combination might work.

This is a shiny new kernel with a rather old ALSA version. Please try
a more recent ALSA version, there have been some changes to the
snd-usb-audio driver since then.
