There is quite a lot communication over USB in both directions and I have to dig through the dumps. This would be a separate commit and I do not know, how long it could take.

I wrote some userspace C code for testing purposes that uses libusb-1.0/libusb.h, so I can switch the channels. How this feature should be provided to the user? Should the USB commands be issued from the kernel driver or from userspace? Is there any existing similar example?

At best implement a mixer element (probably with enumerated type) to
perform the switching.  You can find quite a lot of examples in
mixer_quirks.c.
