[Fix] Disable IEC958 (SPDIF) through ALSA UCM. [Test] With the UCM applied, `pactl` and audio panel in gnome-control-center no longer have SPDIF option. [Where problems will occur] "Cmedia Audio" is the sound card name of this usb audio dongle, and this string is got from usb string descriptor, that is to say the "Cmedia Audio" is hard-coded in the firmware of that usb dongle. Not all Cmedia usb audio dongle use "Cmedia Audio", most of the dongles don't set string descriptor, then the audio driver sets a generic name "USB Audio Device" for them, if a dongle has string descriptor, it may have different string like "C-Media USB Headphone Set", and all dongles I met before don't have SPDIF interface. So If this SRU could introduce regression, it will happen on a Cmedia usb audio dongle which also hard-codes the "Cmedia Audio" in the string descriptor and it has SPDIF interface on it, after this SRU, users couldn't find the SPDIF playback device from the gnome-sound-setting. But this regression chance is very low since it is very rare a cmedia usb audio dongle uses "Cmedia Audio" in the string descriptor and it is very rare a usb audio dongle has SPDIF interface. So far we haven't met such a cmedia usb audio dongle.
