USB-Audio: ASUS ROG Zenith II S/PDIF output mapped to wrong PCM device

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #532 was opened from byrcolin:

## Summary

On the ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme (TRX40), the iec958: PCM for the onboard USB codec "Zenith II Main Audio" (0b05:1916, Realtek ALC1220-VB) opens PCM device 0. On this board device 0 is the 8-channel analog output; the optical S/PDIF output is PCM device 1. As a result, the "Digital Stereo (IEC958)" output in PipeWire/PulseAudio plays to the analog jacks and the S/PDIF port is silent.

The second onboard codec, "Zenith II Front Headphone" (0b05:1915), has a single analog playback device and no digital output, but iec958: still opens it, so PipeWire/PulseAudio list a digital output for it that does not work.

Neither card is listed in USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device in src/conf/cards/USB-Audio.conf, so both fall back to device 0.

## Hardware

```
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Audio          ]: USB-Audio - Zenith II Main Audio
 4 [Headphone      ]: USB-Audio - Zenith II Front Headphone

$ aplay -l   (card 0 and 4 only)
card 0: Audio [Zenith II Main Audio], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
card 0: Audio [Zenith II Main Audio], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1]
card 0: Audio [Zenith II Main Audio], device 3: USB Audio [USB Audio #3]
card 4: Headphone [Zenith II Front Headphone], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
```

/proc/asound/card0/stream0 (device 0): interface 4, 2/4/6/8 channels, 8-channel map FL FR FC LFE RL RR FLC FRC (analog). /proc/asound/card0/stream1 (device 1): interface 5, 2 channels, 44.1–192 kHz (S/PDIF).

## Expected

iec958:CARD=Audio opens hw:0,1, and the front headphone codec does not expose an IEC958 output.

## Fix

Add the two cards to the iec958_device table:

```
"Zenith II Main Audio" 1
"Zenith II Front Headphone" 999
```

With this mapping (applied locally via ~/.asoundrc), aplay -D iec958:CARD=Audio -v reports Hardware PCM card 0 'Zenith II Main Audio' device 1, PipeWire's IEC958 sink plays over optical S/PDIF, and the front headphone codec shows up as analog stereo only.

Tested on AlmaLinux 10.2, alsa-lib 1.2.15.3, PipeWire 1.4.11, WirePlumber 0.5.10.
