This is something I've never understood: Why is there no generic interface in the ALSA

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?

And if someone has some hints to do that...
Rewrite hdspmixer, first. It's a horrible mess at the moment, but I'm
sure you'll see in a second. ;) We could use some clean abstraction of
cards, a matrix mixer and especially a rewrite from scratch in GTK/Qt.
