I wanted to make sure hotplug isn't installed. Sometimes one forgot
to _purge_ the package, not only remove it.

As I don't have a TASCAM US-122 usb sound card for testing I propose to add your
udev.rules to a alsa-firmware-loaders.rules then.

One thing first:

What happens when snd_usb_usx2y is listet in /etc/modules? Does the
module loading kick on the hotplugscripts while booting? Are ther
any "parm:" listed by the output of modinfo snd_usb_usx2y? But this
may be useless, since it is a usb-card, which can be plugged
independend from boot process so we have to involve udev then.
