No, the kernel does successfully get the descriptors. The contents of
/proc/bus/usb/001/00X are obviously :-) correct.

The various descriptors are described in the various USB
specifications which you can find at www.usb.org, but trust me: you
don't want to read them.

In short, the descriptors tell the driver about the capabilities of
the device.

This is exactly the same information as in the output of lsusb, only
without those bothersome labels.

The UA-30 actually seems to have 100% standard-conforming descriptors,
so the driver ought to work with it (well, in theory).

Does your computer still blow up when you unload all ALSA modules and
do a "modprobe audio"?

Yes, please remove _all_ old ALSA packages before installing the new
ones.
