Yeah, there are quite a few memory leaks and double frees.
The patch below is a bit of drastic surgery.

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix memory leak and corruption in
 mixer_us16x08.c

There are a few places leaking memory and doing double-free in
mixer_us16x08.c.

The driver allocates a usb_mixer_elem_info object at each
add_new_ctl() call.  This has to be freed via kctl->private_free, but
currently this is done properly only for some controls.

Also, the driver allocates three external objects (comp_store,
eq_store, meter_store), and these are referred in elem->private_data
(it's not kctl->private_data).  And these have to be released, but
there are none doing it.  Moreover, these extra objects have to be
released only once.  Thus the release should be done only by the first
kctl element that refers to it.

For fixing these, we call either snd_usb_mixer_elem_free() (only for
kctl->private_data) or elem_private_free() (for both
kctl->private_data and elem->private_data) via kctl->private_free
appropriately.

Last but not least, snd_us16x08_controls_create() may return in the
middle without releasing the allocated *_store objects.
returns in the middle due to an error.  For fixing this, we shuffle
the allocation code so that it's called just before its reference.
