Pierre and/or Sylvain,

I'm not sure how you call the controls from an external application.  I
have only used the alsa-utils amixer command to set the controls, and
alsactl to save the settings in /etc/asound.state and then restore them
at boot.

So you could look at the amixer source to see how they are called.

The available controls are normally defined in the ASoC codec driver,
and you shouldn't need to modify the at91_pcm_ops->ioctl pointer to
access them.
