Variable sample_accum is not being intialized and then has
ep->sample_rem added to it, leading to a bogus value. One solution
is to initialize it to zero at declaration time, but it is probably
best to just assign it to ep->sample_rem on first use.

Thanks for the patch, but it's no right fix. The Fixes tag points to
a wrong commit, it was d215f63d49da9a8803af3e81acd6cad743686573
ALSA: usb-audio: Check available frames for the next packet size
And sample_accum has to be initialized from ep->sample_accum instead.
I'll post the proper fix.

Thanks Takshi.
