I think this bug is affecting me as well. I am also aware of two other
bug reports that sound related. Bug #1556444 and bug #1328065.
Skimming over the code in the patches I don't think those will work for
me. The code specifically looks for this identifier string "FutureMax
Dance Mat". My device reports itself with this string "RedOctane USB
Pad". So I think the code won't treat my device any differently than
the way it's being treated now.

Here's my complete and utter beginner attempt at a modified version of
the patch for the 4.8 kernel:

So, I'm going to attempt to produce an actual patch from this and see if
it fixes my problem. Just wanted to drop this note here first and see
if anyone comments. I've never done this sort of thing to the kernel
code before so there's no telling how long this is going to take me.

Title:
No input events for FutureMax Dance Mat
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
On my ubuntu booth of my FutureMax Dance Mats does not generate any input
events. So they can not be used. The hardware is working, i verified this with
a windows PC.
The missing events were checked with cat /dev/input/eventX, evtest, xev.
On ubuntu the device is set up (udevadm has it, dmesg has it, evtest
sees it), module joydev is loaded but no input is recognized/ visible
and /dev/input/eventX
Expected behavior: Plug and Play with the usb Dance Mat
Acutal behavior: No play possible as no input events appear and so the game
can not use it.
