Dear Linux users of Pioneer gear, please disregard v1 of this patch and test this instead if at all possible.
My initial assessment that we needed to let the capture EP be opened twice was clearly proven wrong by further testing. This is good because if we really needed that it would require a lot of reengineering inside ALSA.
One thing that still boggles my mind though is why we need a special Pioneer case inside snd_usb_parse_implicit_fb_quirk that returns 1 like a capture quirk was found.
This is a highly experimental patch on top of 5.12-rc6 that's supposed to engage implicit feedback sync on the playback for Pioneer devices. Without implicit feedback sync the inputs started glitching due to clock drift in about an hour in my Pioneer DJ DDJ-SR2.
Once again I'd like to thank Takashi Iwai. He's the true author of the bulk of this code, I just adapted it and coerced it into working.

Thanks for the patch!
It's interesting that Pioneer devices would actually work with the implicit feedback mode. It seems that the key point is to skip the capture side; IIRC, we checked applying the quirk to the playback side, but this wasn't enough or not properly working on some devices.
If that's the case, I believe a patch like below would be safer and more inconsistent: it checks the device from both playback and capture quirks with the same helper function.
Could you check whether this one works? (It's totally untested.)
thanks,
Takashi
