You are correct. I ran the test again and indeed it is not
failing but it is skipped. Sorry for the confusion. Anyway, with
this patch the test that verifies the ISRC packets succeeds so I
think it would be a nice addition.

It is not random as the registers defaults to zero per databook.
It is sending an empty packet.

Thanks. Will change in next version if you agree with this
addition. If not I will drop the patch.
