+ * handlers are fully decoupled.
+ *

+ * expect the payload to carry Q10.14 / Q16.16 formatted sync information
+ * (3 or 4 bytes).
+ *
+ * Each endpoint has to be configured prior to being used by calling
+ * snd_usb_endpoint_set_params().
+ *
+ * The model incorporates a reference counting, so that multiple users
+ * can call snd_usb_endpoint_start() and snd_usb_endpoint_stop(), and
+ * only the first user will effectively start the URBs, and only the last
+ * one to stop it will tear the URBs down again.
