Hi Greg,

I'm experiencing the issue myself so I should be able to test a patch and
submit it properly once we have one.

Unfortunately it seems that we don't really have a clue how the driver is
really supposed to behave and negotiate with the device. I'm adding Diego
Giagio to CC because his address is in the file header and in case he could
jump in and help, but I'm not holding my breath since the copyright date is
from 2009.

It'd be nice if we had some documentation and/or contact at Apple, but other
than that I guess we'll have to poke around and see how the itunes driver do
their job in MacOS or Windows.

Regards,
