Nothing. Not even after I removed the alsa-usb-audio driver. All I see is Keyboard.*, but the events from the speaker should be Key.*, right?
It looks like the speaker goes into a different mode once the USB cable is plugged in. Without the USB cable, the Z-10 acts as simple/dumb speaker, the volume up/down buttons change the internal volume, and I see that on the display, too. The play/next/prev song buttons don't do anything, which is quite obvious. But once the USB cable is plugged in, the volume up/down buttons stop reacting. I assume they are now meant to send events to the computer so that some software can decide what to do. But features that are not useful for the computer (bass/treble), can still be controlled using the buttons on the speaker. The buttons are not dead. I can see that because the display goes to sleep after a few seconds of inactivity, and when I press the volume buttons, it wakes up and displays the current volume. So the speaker is definitely seeing that the buttons are being pressed.
Is there a USB packet inspector/dumper, like libpcap for network?
