Hi Uwe,

I'll try my very best ;)

it's a bit odd that empty async transfers are not handled
at the libusb level.

Did you try tracing into libusb? Debug printing?

I'm willing to apply this fix:

yuk, the ftdi_init variable really caught me in the example.
I think we should choose a different variable name since
ftdi_init() is also a function name in libftdi.

Any explanation why "DATA_READ" was changed to "DATA_READ -1"?

Cheers,
Thomas
