OK, so I need..
usb_xf[i].xf = libusb_alloc_transfer(3);
 p = malloc(3 * 1024);
libusb_fill_iso_transfer(usb_xf[i].xf, h, 0x82 p, 3 * 1024, 3, usbcb, &usb_xf[i], 2000);

?

It is a single in endpoint. The device also has 2 in bulk and 2 out bulk endpoints for other data but they are idle while the iso one is running.
