Hi,

As already by others, you can disable the device in pavucontrol, but it
has to be done for each user on a multi-user system, and the config does
not survive unpluging of the device.

For a system-wide solution compatible with hot-pluging, you can write an
udev rule that basically tells udev to not notify pulseaudio about the
given device. Example is given here:
