2.6.15.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let
us know.

------------------

From: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>

Some widespread USB interface chips with adaptive iso endpoints hang
after receiving a series of empty packets when they expect data.  This
completely disables audio playback on those devices.  To avoid this, we
have to send packets containing silence (zero samples) instead.
