[PATCH] Jabra SPEAK 410 USB - no audio playback

[Richard W.M. Jones]

The attached patch fixes USB audio support for the Jabra SPEAK 410 USB.

The problem, as I understand it, is that the device contains a
Class-Specific Endpoint (CS_ENDPOINT) descriptor before the Endpoint
(ENDPOINT) descriptor.  The USB code all assumes that CS_ENDPOINT can
only appear after ENDPOINT.  Therefore the USB code divides up the
interface descriptor into "stuff before ENDPOINT" (in
interface->extra) and "stuff after ENDPOINT" (in
interface->endpoint[0]->extra).  For this device, this division does
not work.

You can see lsusb for my device here:

Notice the "** UNRECOGNIZED: 07 25 01 81 02 00 00" line which is the
CS_ENDPOINT descriptor.

The solution (which is a hack ...) is to also search interface->extra
looking for the missing descriptor.

For me, this fully enables the functions of this device.

Rich.
