This presumes the "system integrator" (which could very well be the end
user in many cases) somehow knows what all the controls do/mean.

Anyway, it seems this is an ALSA problem rather than a sunxi problem.


        Stefan "who wishes ALSA could describe the meaning of all those
                controls, maybe as a graphical diagram, or as some kind
                of (hopefully simple) program"
