I just found some old threads online about bugs in the Intel USB chipset[1] which I would guess is in a large majority of consumer laptops, maybe even desktops, on the market today. Those bugs seem to be the cause of the "broken pipe" when ALSA tries to talk to the device.

Hi James,

I think this is related to the EHCI driver in your kernel version. Try
with a more recent kernel, for example, the stock kernel in ubuntu
12.04. Read Clemens to understand the problem. Here:
