I used arecord -L to list some things, and I got weird results, saying
among other things that my webcam was capable of surround sound output
even though it's strictly an input device.
I already reported it downstream with my distro but so far no news.
I was told it was a bug with alsa.
As for the card in question, U0x46d0x825 is my logitech brand webcam
connected via USB.
