That's a interesting piece of information :)

Could you give lsusb -v output of the device?  With the latest patch
set, the driver can set up the implicit feedback mode automatically in
certain cases.  I'm not sure whether Behringer device follows that
pattern.  If not, we'd need to add the quirk manually.
