OK, but they're not playing audio at this point, just there for bus
enumeration, current negotiation, etc.

Have you seen the list of issues on
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/usb/README.md
It's out of date, I think, but then so much of the Pi documentation is
frankly shoddy and incomplete.

    Because of the OTG hardware limitations, if too many Full- or
    Low-speed devices are plugged into a single-TT hub, unreliable
    operation of the devices may occur.

No, because they'd be powered differently then so could have different
behaviour?

Don't think so because the USB keyboard will continue to work unless CPU
load causes a crash, and if it does then that's good.

Cheers, Ralph.
