Hi,

The DWC OTG driver has not fully implemented isochronous. Using isochronous 
transfers will have a high CPU load impact, because 1000 IRQ's (FS) or 8000 
IRQ's (HS) second will be needed to feed the FIFOs. However, if this is 
acceptable, code can be found in:

sys/dev/usb/controller/dwc_otg.c
