There is a known but yet unfixed bug for the PS3's EHCI Async Periodic
(typically audio recording) device handling.  There are a few related
hardware errata that I have not yet implemented driver fixes for that
I think are causing it.  

I guess it is the same problem as reported by Abhishek since Andrew's
dmesg (http://www.osl.iu.edu/~afriedle/dmesg.txt) shows similar 
results.

More info is here:

I have bought a ART Tube USB device but have not had time to fix
this bug.  It is on my todo list.  Please feel free to make an
attempt.

Alan, thanks for your effort on this so far, sorry you didn't know
about the previous report.
