Unfortunately I don't think I've ever touch uaudio code except the
addition of feeder_volume part. It seems that there are a lot of
uaudio differences between -current and releng_5, which even the
patchset do not address.

Since I do not have any usb audio hardware, I couldn't tell if blind
fold backporting is worth a try for me. Anybody willing to do it?

I guess I should give a try to re-sync everything.
