You can't control the mic gain of the RME Babyface from Linux. It has to
be done on the device itself. Besides, when using the RME Babyface in
class compliant mode it is not possible at all to control anything
remotely as RME does this with its proprietary, closed driver which gets
disabled when using class compliant mode. This is also the reason why
the RME Babyface only works in CC mode with Linux as the RME driver is
not available for Linux. To set the Babyface in CC mode you only have to
push down two buttons at startup once. After that it will stay in CC
mode on consecutive reboots.
