[PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Add capture quirk for Behringer FCA1616

[Kitty Makin]

The Behringer FCA1616 (1397:0004) returns silent capture samples unless its
playback endpoint is active.

Use the existing fixed implicit-feedback mechanism to keep playback endpoint
0x01 on interface 1 active during capture.

Tested with 16-channel S32_LE capture at 44.1 and 48 kHz.

It's interesting that this capture implicit quirk is still needed.
Maybe we can work around in a different way, but this addition would
be likely simpler.  Let's see whether any other devices need to follow
this pattern, then we can rethink.

In anyway, applied now.  Thanks.
