Hi again,

turns out that getting the sound out was easier than expected:

options snd-usb-audio quirk_flags=0x1

One cosmetic issue remains: in pavucontrol I can see 3 configuration 
options:
- Analog Stereo output
- Digital Stereo (IEC958) output
- Pro Audio
The first and the third one work normally whereas digital stereo output 
very quiet audio only.
By contrast, both my built-in audio cards (AMD Renoir HDMI and analog 
output) only have two options:
- Play HiFi quality Music
- Pro Audio
Is this expected?

Best regards,
Julian
