[alsa-devel] [PATCH] USB-Audio: Disable "Logitech USB Headset" iec958 device

[David Henningsson]

prevent them from being opened. This simplifies probing the
device in PulseAudio.

I did not get any responses to my "digital profile" mail sent to alsa-devel
Feb 24th, but it seems the easiest workaround is the below patch for alsa-lib.
