Yes.

Non-compliant devices don't have a control interface.

In theory, the USB core probes a device's interfaces in order, so the
control interface usually is probed first.  However, I'm not sure if
this is really true for all devices.  It's probably safest to check
explicitly if the device has any interface marked as audio control 1/2.
