As the dump in the forum post doesn't decode any of the USB audio
specific headers, we'd need to see the output of "lsusb -v" with that
device connected.

If the driver bails out at this point, there's something wrong with the
descriptors, or the interface has no audio support at all (which would
be odd as it could have been omitted entirely in the first place).

We might have to add a quirk for the device, let's see.
