ASIO is a user wrapper around a kernel driver.  Now you're talking about
using a kernel driver as a wrapper around the user-mode wrapper around a
kernel driver.  This is likely to collapse under its own weight.  The
latency is going to suck -- you'll have 4 user/kernel transitions for
each request.

ASIO/libusbk is not the right way to implement UAC 2 support.
