FWIW, the fix that made it work for Pedro was to use usb_buffer_alloc()
for the transfer_buffer of the audio module.

Another detail I can't explain is that on his machine, the kernel oopses
when kmalloc() with GFP_DMA32 is used. The patch to try this also only
touched the allocation in sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c.
