Usx2yloader is a helper program to load the 2nd Phase firmware binaries
onto the Tascam USX2Y USB soundcards.
It has proven to work so far only for the US428.
US122 & US224 will hopefully follow.
The snd-usb-us428 module requires this program.

The kernel reacts by starting the usb-hotplug script.
A.2. The usb-hotplug script starts the executable fxload,

A.3. The US428 disconnects itself from the USB-Bus and ... (see Phase 2).
