I'm stilling seeing this with git 2.6.31 sources.  I will integrate
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG & post my results when I get a chance this week (for
device usb insertion?).  I had both i2c debug & a wealth of kernel
hacking debug turned on in >2.6.30 kernel hacking lately and didn't get
any more debug output then a possible circular locking dependency that I
recently posted.

Also, digital & analog streaming of the device are completely flaky when
the computer is rebooted with the hvr-1950 device still having preloaded
firmware from the last boot.  Or, more precisely put, the device's
analog & digital devices are completely inoperable, even if their device
files are shown in /dev.

A cold boot along with power cycling the HVR-1950 has usually been the
only resolve.

Just a quick note here, I noticed you're listed within the top five
developers committing to the Linux Kernel.  This was published by a
recent Linux Kernel news article detailing top submitters.  A *big*
thank you, else I'd be stuck complaining about MS Windows a lot more
then I have done in the past. ;-)
