ALSA-lib's access type specifies whether to use mmap or not, and whether
the sample are interleaved or not.  (The SNDRV_PCM_INFO_*INTERLEAVED and
SNDRV_PCM_INFO_MMAP* flags specify the capabilities of the device.)

Look at the values in the snd_pcm_hardware structure and at the
constraints the driver adds manually, if there are any.
