It's about ucm2/USB-Audio/Dell/WD15-Dock-HiFi.conf, the JackControl
entries.  For example,
		JackControl "Headphone Jack"
expects the mixer element.  The bad thing is that the complete card
entry disappears because of inconsistency.
If you modify the entry as
		JackControl "name='Headphone Jack',iface=CARD"
it would work.  But the fact that other JackControl stuff works, it's
better to align the USB-audio with IFACE_MIXER, I guess.
