-Lun numbering does not have to be continuous, except for lun #0 which is
-created by default. A maximum of 8 luns can be specified and they all must be
-named following the <name>.<number> scheme. The numbers can be 0..8.

-After the gadget's MIDI port is connected to timidity's MIDI port,
-whatever is played at the gadget side with aplaymidi -l is audible

-Testing the UAC1 function
--------------------------
-
-device: run the gadget
-host: aplay -l # should list our USB Audio Gadget
-
-This function does not require real hardware support, it just
-sends a stream of audio data to/from the host. In order to
-actually hear something at the device side, a command similar
-to this must be used at the device side:
-
-$ arecord -f dat -t wav -D hw:2,0 | aplay -D hw:0,0 &
-
-e.g.:
-
-$ arecord -f dat -t wav -D hw:CARD=UAC1Gadget,DEV=0 | \
-aplay -D default:CARD=OdroidU3
