I forget : too, I have tried to edit the file  in sound/usb/caiaq/device.c
to active the snd-usb-caiaq driver and add the KA6  device with no more
luck.
diff device.h.old device.h

> #define USB_PID_KA6 0x1001

diff device.c.old device.c~

many errors in logs with error -5 and complaint about "can't set alt
