I have updated the patch, and found that around 100 ms get wasted 
reliably for something that is neither mapping_open_pcm() nor 
mapping_paths_probe() before probing surround21 on the USB headphones. I 
do not understand this phenomenon (might be a buggy patch due to the 
noise here).

The new timing patch is attached, as well as the gzipped 
very-very-verbose log from that PC.
