If the pause is 10 seconds, the error may have been returned by the following
code in snd_pcm_lib_read1:

        if (schedule_timeout(10 * HZ) == 0) {
                state = ... EXPIRED;
                break;
        }
        ...
        case EXPIRED:
                snd_printd("capture read error (DMA or IRQ trouble?)\n");
                err = -EIO;

Or is the pause 5 seconds (the timeout of usb_set_interface)?

        if (usb_set_interface(dev, subs->interface, fmt->altset_idx) < 0) {
                snd_printk(KERN_ERR "%d:%d:%d: usb_set_interface failed\n",
                           dev->devnum, subs->interface, fmt->altsetting);
                return -EIO;
        }

Are you _really_ sure you have recompiled the entire alsa-driver package
with debug output, installed it correctly, and there's nothing in the log?

Please try inserting the line

        snd_printk(KERN_ERR "now calling usb_set_interface ...\n");

immediately before the line with usb_set_interface in usbaudio.c. This
message must always be visible in the log.
