It may be possible that other errors than an empty configuration space could occur. For example, future ALSA versions might want to fail if an hotplug device has been unpluggeed, or the configuration space could have been reduced due to some outside influence. I don't think we can guarantee that this function never ever fails. Maybe we should simply drop the "if configuration space would become empty".
