I can confirm this bug has reappeared, as another regression. I'm running 3.8.13 (Gentoo) and this bug just started happening.
Almost exactly once per second:
[ 703.568622] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
[ 704.568285] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
[ 705.567824] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
[ 706.567485] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
The desktop becomes unusable. It seems that many desktop applications, and the shell itself, are blocked on PulseAudio. PulseAudio is stuck in state "D": comatose. It's never a good sign when processes are in state "D"....
I was earlier running 3.7.10 (Gentoo) and this bug didn't happen at all back then.
Workaround is to hit Control-Alt-F1 to escape your unusable desktop, go to your text shell, start removing modules until you get rid of the offending sound driver, then hopefully that will snap PulseAudio out of its funk. Then, you can return to your desktop, and although it will be silent, you can use it again.
