I heard the US-1641 uses bulk and/or iso packets, while US-122L uses iso only.
so snd_usb_us122l would need some deep tweaking.
also all the incantation stuff looks propably different.

erm, no. there are the interface and endpoint numbers.

usbsnoop and/or the developers at http://usbaudio.com.

no spam filters, just work and short hollidays.

looking back at developing snd_usb_us122l, i'm unsure if I spent my time wisely:
the actual hardware one can buy now doesn't talk to the driver anymore. and i'm
busy caring for real life, which i've been omitting a tad too much that time.

If in doubt, don't bother hacking on the tascam, enjoy spring instead!
