[alsa-devel] Xonar U1 volume controls

Hi!

I'm answering to cladisch call for the "lsusb -v" ouput for this device on 
Asus forums: 
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20090105132008643&board_id=21&model=Xonar+U1&page=1&SLanguage=en-
us
The analog ouput and microphone input work flawlessly with alsa-driver-1.0.19 
but the volume controls don't, although they are listed in evtest pushing or 
rotating the knob(X not running) does nothing :

$ sudo evtest /dev/input/event2
Input driver version is 1.0.0
Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0xb05 product 0x1743 version 0x100
Input device name: "C-Media Electronics Inc. USB Advanced Audio Device"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (Reset)
    Event code 0 (Reset)
    Event code 1 (Key)
    Event code 4 (?)
  Event type 1 (Key)
    Event code 113 (Mute)
    Event code 114 (VolumeDown)
    Event code 115 (VolumeUp)
  Event type 4 (?)
    Event code 4 (?)
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)

Besides it also has a LED that can "pulse" and can be blue, purple or red, and 
there doesn't seem to be any way to control this either. On Vista the Asus 
driver defaults it to pulsing blue when ouputting sound while on Linux it 
blinks alternatively purple and blue, how ugly and less relaxing!..

Hope the lsusb output will be useful and thanks a lot for all your hard work,
Elie
