I found that both HDSPMixer and HDSPConf were part of a previous 1.0.10 
release of alsa-tools, and that this alsa-tools could be removed without 
any dependencies on the rest of the alsa install.  However, there is not 
a replacement of this package for 1.0.11rcX.

Was this something thats supposed to address this chipsets apparent 
inability to do full duplex audio?
