I have a ThinkPad T23 with a M-Audio Sonica Theater sound card that
doesn't work reliably with KDE 4.4.3 and Phonon Xine, while without
PulseAudio it works. It happens at times, I did not make out a pattern,
also after a hibernation cycle that the USB soundcard is greyed out in KDE
multimedia system settings (for Phonon) and sound is switched to internal
audio.
And I have this in the syslog:
Mar 27 12:27:44 localhost kernel: 2:2:4: usb_set_interface failed
Mar 27 12:27:44 localhost kernel: 2:2:4: usb_set_interface failed

Mar 27 12:27:44 localhost kernel: 2:2:4: usb_set_interface failed

Mar 27 12:27:44 localhost kernel: 2:1:3: usb_set_interface failed
Mar 27 12:27:44 localhost kernel: 2:1:3: usb_set_interface failed
(lots more, strangely no feedback from pulseaudio daemon itself)
But when I apt-get purge pulseaudio, replug the sound card I just get:
{{{
Mar 27 12:30:32 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2
Mar 27 12:30:38 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using

and everything works as expected. No errors regarding usb_set_interface
failed at all.

(pulseaudio was completely installed at version 0.9.21-4, above output is
with purged pulseaudio, cause I just wanted to listen to music instead of
fiddling around with things.)
BTW replugging the sound card does not help when Pulseaudio is installed.
But without pulseaudio playback is fine.
I also have rtkit 10 installed which did seem to do what it should by
giving out nice -11 for pulseaudio and RT 5 for its audio playback
threads.
I have a ThinkPad T42 where the M-Audio Sonica Theater worked to far. Also
with Pulseaudio. I really want to use that soundcard, cause quality is so
much better. I also tried with gstreamer backend, but also the
