W: module-alsa-source.c: Your kernel driver is broken: it reports a volume range from 18.00 dB to 18.00 dB which makes no sense.

Yepp. PA is right. Your dB range is 3072 steps between 18 to 18 dB. Which of course is bogus. Your USB hardware apparently exports bogus dB information. The USB kernel driver should detect bogus dB data and not export that to userspace. Reassigning to kernel, since this should be filtered out by the kernel drivers, not by PA.
This is an alsa problem, not a v4l problem, re-assigning.
