to wrap it up and future reference: The detailed explanation for this
phenomena (connecting USB1.x audio devices on a 2.0 hub) can be found in
the thread:
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-dev/2010-October/029509.html

instead of directly connecting the device, you could use an USB1.x hub
or disable USB 2.0 for the port as outlined in
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-dev/2010-October/029511.html
