ok, I change the comment in the suggested way

In the USB 2 isochronous the limit is 1024 byte x 3 pkts = 3072, but in 
the code is write 8192. I don't understand why, for the memory page 
size? for have a tolerant limits? for rounding to a nice number?
So I wrote a limit some more big and round, but I agree with you the 
best way is write the correct limit, so I modify in this way, soon.
