Well, my point was that check should be like:
   select SND_USB_AUDIO_XXX if MEDIA_CONTROLLER && MEDIA_SUPPORT

as there is no MEDIA_SUPPORT_MODULE in Kconfig.  It's
MEDIA_SUPPORT=m in Kconfig syntax.  In C code, it's
CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT_MODULE, though.

There is a revere-select, so this menu itself doesn't play any role.

If you want this item selectable, drop select from SND_USB_AUDIO but
just have proper dependencies for this item:

config SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER
	bool "USB Audio/MIDI driver with Media Controller Support"
	depends on SND_USB_AUDIO
	depends on MEDIA_CONTROLLER
	default y

(Whether default y or not is a remaining question: usually we keep it 
 empty (i.e. no), but I put it here since you had it.)

If you want this auto-selected unconditionally, drop the prompt and
superfluous dependency (and don't set default y):

config SND_USB_AUDIO
	....
	select SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER if MEDIA_CONTROLLER
	....

config SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER
	bool
