ADA-305 - USB Audiocontrol device or proprietary poser?

In light of the recent USB threads, I decided now would be a good time
to bring up my USB-controlled speakers.

I have ADA-305 speakers by Altec Lansing.  Allegedly they support the
USB audiocontrol interface, and FreeBSD's uaudio driver attempts to
recognize them, but ultimately fails.  (In windows there is a nifty
little utility that lets me adjust the volume of each speaker.)

They don't send any audio over USB, they only do volume control.

Here's what uaudio says about the speakers when I plug them in:

uaudio0: audio descriptors make no sense, error=4
device_attach: uaudio0 attach returned 6

Here's what udesc_dump says about the speakers:

I added some debugging, and the attach fails in uaudio_identify_ac on
the following:

	id = uaudio_find_iface(buf, size, &offs, UISUBCLASS_AUDIOCONTROL);
	if (id == NULL)
		return (USBD_INVAL);
	if (offs + sizeof *acdp > size)
		return (USBD_INVAL); /* BOOM! */

Here are the values it failed on:

  uaudio_identify_ac: offs + sizeof *acdp > size
  uaudio_identify_ac: offs = 18
  uaudio_identify_ac: sizeof *acdp = 9
  uaudio_identify_ac: size = 25

It looks like uaudio_find_iface is incrementing offs even if it found
the correct interface descriptor, so I moved the *offsp += d->bLength;
after the return.  (See the lengths from udesc_dump above, is this
a correct fix?.)

I now die just below that here:

	ibuf = buf + offs;
	acdp = (struct usb_audio_control_descriptor *)ibuf;
	if (acdp->bDescriptorType != UDESC_CS_INTERFACE ||
	    acdp->bDescriptorSubtype != UDESCSUB_AC_HEADER)
		return (USBD_INVAL); /* BOOM! */

Looking at the endpoint descriptor above, the DescriptorType is a
UDESC_ENDPOINT, not a UDESC_CS_INTERFACE.  It also has no
DescriptorSubtype.

Are these speakers just pretending to be USB audiocontrol devices and
have some proprietary implementation underneath, or could there be
something mis-detected somewhere else?
