Thank you for your kind words.

These look like the same problem as below:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=246398+0+archive/2004/freebsd-usb/20041231.freebsd-usb

If they are just same problems, It will be resolved by changing
UAUDIO_PCM_BUFF_SIZE definition to (16*1024)-4 in uaudio_pcm.c.
(if it is (18*1024)-1, sound right-left will be counterchanged.)

This problem must come from maxsegz size 
in the function bus_dma_tag_create() in uaudio_pcm.c 
which is smaller than UAUDIO_PCM_BUFF_SIZE
and one digit smaller than maxsegzs of other audio devices.
Actually, this problem can be fixed by changing maxsegz 
from 0x3fff to 0x3ffff.
But I don't know it has some reasons, 
or it is a mere copy mistake.
