alt = 1 for audio is because the audio-only interface on em2861 has only 5
alternates, and alt = 1 has the biggest wMaxPacketSize.

This code can of course be optimized.

alt = <max> for mixed video/audio interface was chosen to avoid the
need of recalculate the video + audio bandwidth.

It would be possible to rework on this code to create a single function
that would adjust the bandwidth considering both video and audio
constraints, but it takes time, and testing. So, when the audio driver
was written, the developer just hardcoded alt = 7, and didn't bother
with that.

Nobody had time to review it so far.

Yes, but the interface to be selected, in this case, should estimate both
audio and video, if both are active, in order to select the right
alternate.

In any case, this patch doesn't change anything related to it, and it is
a first step to add a proper code here to detect and select the proper
setup.
