Thanks for the patch, but it's no right fix.  The Fixes tag points to
a wrong commit, it was d215f63d49da9a8803af3e81acd6cad743686573
    ALSA: usb-audio: Check available frames for the next packet size
  
And sample_accum has to be initialized from ep->sample_accum instead.
I'll post the proper fix.
