This is something I've never understood: Why is there no generic interface in the ALSA API for a matrix mixer? For every pro-audio card that comes out the wheel has to be completely re-
invented just to control the thing. Are the devices with matrix mixers that different that it prevents them from being wrapped by a common API that any ALSA compliant mixer can
hook into?
