I assume you used a union in struct xucred because a pointer has a different size on different architectures? You could use something like this:

pid_t cr_pid;
u_char _cr_unused1[sizeof(void *)-sizeof(pid_t)];

But perhaps that's not really an improvement.

This part is misleading. If I remember correctly, the driver selects the channel configuration with the most channels by default. It does so by looking for configurations with UAUDIO_CHANNELS_MAX channels, then for UAUDIO_CHANNELS_MAX - 1 channels, and so on until a matching device configuration is found (or 0 is reached). For USB 1.1 devices 4 channels are the maximum, due to bandwidth constraints.
I think the same happens if default_channels is set to, say, 8 - then it tries 8 first, and then 7, 6, 5, and so on.

This part is misleading. If I remember correctly, the driver selects the channel configuration with the most channels by default.

For USB 1.1 devices 4 channels are the maximum, due to bandwidth constraints.
I think the same happens if default_channels is set to, say, 8 - then it tries 8 first, and then 7, 6, 5, and so on.

@dev_submerge.ch Do you think the following is good?

hw.usb.uaudio.default_channels
        Default sample channels, from 0 to UAUDIO_CHANNELS_MAX (default
        is 0).  snd_uaudio will search in descending order for the
        maximum-supported channel configuration, starting either from
        UAUDIO_CHANNELS_MAX if hw.usb.uaudio.default_channels is set to
        0, or, if set to a positive non-zero value, from
        hw.usb.uaudio.default_channels.  USB 1.1 devices are limited to 4
        channels due to bandwidth constraints.

I think it's too much implementation detail. E.g., end users probably want to know the limit of 64, not a definition from code. But maybe we can simplify this anyway.

Set this to select a smaller channel number if the device supports multiple
sample channels.

"sample channels" still doesn't make sense - how about "if the device supports multiple channel configurations."?

A device doesn't have a default sample rate, AFAIK. The VCHAN setting lets a user choose a sample rate, but with default_rate set, current implementation limits this choice to default_rate max.
