Well we do have the .set_tdm_slot to configure things. If it turns
out we only need to track the machine audio state in cpcap.c, then
we don't need a separate machine driver.

However, if it turns out that cpcap is not always active for
some audio paths, then yeah it seems that we need a custom
machine driver to keep track of the machine audio state.

Yeah nope. And just dumping out the cpcap registers in Android
seems to provide enough information to get the missing features
working.
