Several ALSA drivers dereference the pointer returned by snd_ctl_new1() to adjust id.device, id.index, or store bookkeeping pointers before calling snd_ctl_add(). snd_ctl_new1() can return NULL on allocation failure, making these writes a NULL pointer dereference. This series adds NULL checks to all affected call sites found by static analysis.
