USB descriptors use units of 1/256th dB, while ALSA uses 1/100th dB.
When the level is computed from the minimum plus a multiple of the step
size, rounding errors add up considerately.

ALSA 1.0.21 (kernel 2.6.32) added a different TLV type that reports the
range with the min/max values to minimize those rounding errors.
