I had done some prototyping about 18 months ago with the Apple's (SimpleAudio) 
audio driver examples.  I had been curious about the viability of using user 
mode drivers to control usb audio interfaces.  Possibly transitioning existing 
kernel mode drivers moving forward.

I never completed this, but got far enough along that I was able to enumerate 
the usb interfaces and have it show up as an audio device and had the 
beginnings of streaming audio over the isoc endpoints to/from the device.  This 
was all done on 10.8.  At that point I put the code away.

I've come back to this now and have found that due to sandboxing of coreaudiod, 
the plug-in is no longer able to access the usb hardware via iokit.  I get:

"Sandboxd:  coreaudiod deny iokit-open IOUSBDeviceUserClient_V2"

When I call IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService() while enumerating the usb 
devices.  The documentation details entitlements which can be added to 
info.plist in order to access network resources but I see no mention for 
similar methods to unlock access to usb resources.  Is this a brick wall?  What 
is the procedure for allowing plug-in access to usb?
