Well this is quite timely, I had to revert to older versions of UCM 
earlier today because of similar issues:

root@Zotac:~/alsa-lib# alsaucm -c SOF set _verb HiFi set _enadev Headphones
ALSA lib ucm_subs.c:367:(uc_mgr_get_substituted_value) variable 
'${var:V1}' is not defined in this context!
ALSA lib main.c:983:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import SOF 
use case configuration -22
alsaucm: error failed to open sound card SOF: Invalid argument

This error is gone with this patch + latest alsa-ucm-conf, so

Tested-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks Hans!
