I am confused, esp. since I just learnt that I know someone who is
successfully running an AB4 with BRLTTY and Narrator (one of your
resellers, actually, I guess you know whom I'm talking about).

So while the error above is another riddle, I too now think that you are
testing with a device which is different from what we originally had to
implement support for.  Or your libusb is corrupting packets.  Or
something similarily strange.   To repeat, I know an AB4 user who is
successfully using it on Windows with the BRLTTY version that is being
offered by Microsoft for download.  So, back to the drawing table:
It would be very nice to know if your AB4 works on Linux.
