it never work... :-(

The interesting part is that it seems to wait for a frame
and that frame never arrives, or arrives but maybe we're
checking with wrong offsets:

  Initialize isochronous buffers and urbs, ISOC IN: 0x81
  Number of urbs: 2, packet size: 2688, number of packets: 14
  Transfer started
  Waiting for a frame

Then, later, it seems to correctly free the urbs and buffers:

  Freeing isochronous buffers and urbs
  Freeing urb 1
  Stream is off, resubmitting
  Freeing urb 0
  Isochronous buffers and urbs freed
  Transfer stopped
  Releasing 8 allocated buffers

Any idea on how to help debug this problem?
