USB Audio Device sometimes not detected. udev, maybe?

I am using an external usb audio device which I usually keep plugged into my machine.  I am finding that this device is sometimes not being detected when I boot the computer.

When this happens, issuing the following command:

$ aplay -L

does not list this particular device.  Plugging and unplugging the device does not seem to help.

What does seem to resolve the problem is unloading and then reloading the snd_sub_audio kernel module.  This is done by issuing the following commands:

# rmmod snd_usb_audio
# modprobe snd_usb_audio

Could anyone give some insight as to why the usb audio device isn't being detected and why this only happen occasionally?  Could this be a udev issue?  The device in question is an M-Audio Fast Track Pro.
