Public bug reported: Please see https://askubuntu.com/posts/1236257 for most background. tl;dr: - The Rodecaster Pro is a USB audio standard compliant device - lsusb sees it, but alsa cannot use it - trying the exact same setup with a Scarlett 2i2 USB device works (with some caveats, see the mentioned post)
Somehow the Rodecaster is ignored by Alsa. I am more than happy to help debug.
