This is OK if you've never saved the E26's mixer state before.

After the firmware has been downloaded, the device disconnects itself
and then reconnects as an USB audio device with ID 0101.

"error -5" indicates that the firmware loader (the emi26 module)
doesn't want to stay loaded because it isn't needed anymore after the
firmware has been loaded.

To prevent the audio module from loading, put the line

audio

into the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file.
