Public bug reported:

I have a EDIROL UA-1A USB soundcard which for the most part under 12.04
worked however after a period of uptime, ALSA calls started failing with
messages of this nature:

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

and the kernel ring buffer would have streams of:

[673754.825092] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not 
part of current TD
[673754.830412] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not 
part of current TD

and:

[673429.575699] retire_capture_urb: 596 callbacks suppressed

sometimes unplugging/plugging the card would fix this, other times a
system reboot was required.

Since the upgrade to 14.04 this seems to have got worse in that most of
the time it behaves in this manner and the unplugging/plugging approach
never works. From a kernel perspective, I was already running a 3.13.x
release with 12.04 so there's not been a major update on this front
since the upgrade.
