There is a lot of things that suck in USB stack all BSD's are using at the
moment. This particular one is one of smallest ones I worry about ;).
There is a light though. There is a new USB stack known as HPS or usb4bsd
under development in FreeBSD. This particular problem is already resolved
there as well. Also two biggest problems with current stack - sucking
isochronous transfer support and sucking ugen.
See these for details:

Volunteers to port needed ;P.
