alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #269 was opened from stephematician:
Apologies if this is the wrong place - however I'm getting an error most of the time in a very specific situation.
My setup is a TASCAM US122L USB interface, which ALSA is capable of recognising and setting up as a usb_stream device. I then run jackd for this device, load the pulseaudio module for a JACK source (at this point I can record via parecord), and then attempt to add a PulseAudio input to OBS. At this point, I'll get an input for less than a second, then it'll cut out and I'll get an error in JACK.
I've attached the output of alsa-info; showing that the device is recognised. The contents of my .asoundrc are somewhat widely used:
```
# The usb_stream plugin configuration
pcm.!usb_stream {
@args [ CARD ]
@args.CARD {
type string
default "1"
}
type usb_stream
card $CARD
}
ctl.!usb_stream {
@args [ CARD ]
@args.CARD {
type string
default "1"
}
type hw
card $CARD
}
```
I run jackd with a command like:
```
/usr/bin/jackd -v -p128 -dalsa -dusb_stream:CARD=US122L -r44100 -p256 -n2 -C
```
I then set up a source in PulseAudio using `pacmd load-module module-jack-source`. Typically at this point, `parecord --device=jack_in test.wav` records no problems.
Then I'll run OBS and try to add a PulseAudio input, at which point I usually get a very short period of input (less than 1 second?) and then the input will cut out and I'll see the following error in jackd output:
```
Couldn't configure usb_stream
: Input/output error
ALSA: prepare error for capture on "usb_stream:CARD=US122L" (Input/output error)
```
Upon tracking this down, it seems that some call to snd_pcm_prepare by JACK is receiving an error code; but I'm not an expert in this library (or alsa) so it's hard for me to even guess what the problem could be.

I have also raised this issue on JACK in case it's a problem with that library (link here - but details are the same https://github.com/jackaudio/jack1/issues/118#issue-1353053534)
