I use a prosumer USB soundcard connected to my notebook.

I'd use the JACK soundserver and timemachine to do the actual recording.
Even qarecord does a straightforward job. Both are simple
The dmesg output (referred to by the error) is:

In the case of some drivers (such as intel hd audio) I have found the
userspace drivers to be far superior to the kernel modules which gave
poor sound quality, incredibly low volume even when turned fully up,
and frequent distortion.

your device identifies itself to the kernel as human input device (HID).
