ALSA: usb-audio: Don't attempt to get Lifecam HD-5000 sample rate

[Daniel Oehry]

I have a problem with my Lifecam HD-5000. I get timeouts an error-messages with snd-indicator. After searching online I found out there is a problem with the Lifecam not support getting the sample rate.

The problem has been fixed upstream in the kernel-sources, see

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/sound/usb?h=linux-3.18.y&id=b978d2f62a4c2385b2991a9c73eb70943706bb45

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.2 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

As recommended I tested the latest kernel (v4.2-rc7-unstable). There are no more error messages, so it is fixed upstream.
