OK, I'll send a patch.

As it happens, this with a different motherboard than before. So I guess
this is a problem with the device?
I attached a pcap. From looking through it, it seems like many of the
"URB_ISOCHRONOUS in" are failing. But this is sort of strange, since the
card is just a DAC+headphone amp and there is no physical input.
In pactl [1] I see there is an input. It doesn't seem to function no
matter what profile I use. So maybe the quirk should be that this card
does not actually have an input?
