That is if it is an ISO endpoint, right?

Maybe I misunderstand something fundamental, but the "||" strikes me as
odd here:

        as->urb->stream_id = stream_id;
        if (uurb->type == USBDEVFS_URB_TYPE_ISO ||
                        ps->dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH)
                as->urb->interval = 1 << min(15, ep->desc.bInterval - 1);
        else
                as->urb->interval = ep->desc.bInterval;
        as->urb->context = as;



Typo?
