Yes, it was.  I see the default value is 4 and the max is 10.  Could those 
values be increased?

Well, almost anything you do with iso transactions will trigger those 
warnings in uhci-hcd.  The bandwidth reservation code is completely 
broken.  That's going to be one of the next things I fix.

In the latest test in that bug report (attached to comment #20) I found 
what appears to be a bug in snd-usb-audio.  Here's an extract from the 
usbmon log:

As far as I can tell, something caused the driver to cancel its ongoing 
activity and restart.  Maybe the test program closed the device file and 
re-opened it.

Anyway, the driver always has eight URBs queued.  The URB at d687f5a0 was
the last one submitted before everything was cancelled.  The driver
unlinked 7 of the 8 URBs, but the last one was left to complete normally, 
8 ms after it was submitted.  That looks like an off-by-one error in the 
cancellation code.
