Will check if that works with the new kernel - but with my current kernel,
there is no output before the lockup - I even rebooted the box with
the device plugged in - and on boot, it hangs where it says:
Initializing hardware ... storage audio (hangs here, instead of
printing OK next]

If there are kernel debug parameters I can turn on, or maybe some usb
drivers I can preload, any info would be helpful.
