You do have the above patch in the latest linux_media
git. I couldn't reproduce the problem you are seeing.

Here is what I did.
- Blacklisted au0828 and forcing snd_usb_audio
  probe first. Then I generated a graph that shows just
  the audio nodes.
- And then did a modprobe and generated full graph.

I see that in you graph, mixer gets connected to decoder, but the rest
of the audio nodes are missing from the graph.

MEDIA_ENT_F_AUDIO_CAPTURE gets created from  snd_usb_pcm_open()
and gets deleted from free_substream(). Is it possible, for
some reason, either snd_usb_pcm_open() fails or free_substream()
is called?
