Assuming we have something maybe in the component string for card1, then
maybe that will help in this case as you mentioned earlier. Again, I
think my understanding of "endpoint" here is referring to the USB
endpoint. However, that isn't normally how we should think about it.
From the USB sound perspective, it would be the USB interface that is
selected, and the USB endpoints that that interface descriptor includes
(up to 2 usb eps).

Hmm...initially I was keeping the sound kcontrol implementation based on
a vendor specific approach. Although, it might be good to standardize
it a bit. I could see if we can add this to within soc-usb so whenever
we just create a soc usb device, it would also create and initialize the
kcontrols as well?

Based on your earlier comment, this might change :)

Thanks
