IIRC an UAC3-capable device is required to expose a backwards-compatible 
configuration (either UAC1 or UAC2). Maybe an additional test can be 
done to harden the detection so that UAC3 is only chosen if indeed a 
second audio configuration is present as well.

I also vaguely recall there was talk about adding information in the BOS 
descriptor, but I don't know if this was ever published.
