No verb is active here, so the error code is correct. In this state, you 
can just list available verbs or devices and set one. The command to list 
devices for TestHDA case is:

list _devices/Case1

> same for set. Isn't _verb a know identifier in src/ucm/main.c?

This works for me:

ALSA_CONFIG_UCM="$HOME/alsa/alsa-lib/test/ucm" ./alsaucm open TestHDA \
set _verb Case1 get _verb set _enadev Device1.0 list _devices

You may split commands to the interactive mode or you may use a batch file 
and run:

ALSA_CONFIG_UCM="$HOME/alsa/alsa-lib/test/ucm" ./alsaucm -b test.batch

test.batch file contents:

open TestHDA
set _verb Case1
get _verb
set _enadev Device1.0
list _devices
