That's already on too. Not sure what you mean by "compile driver with 
debug=verbose," supposedly, some kernel ALSA debug parameter. Since this 
is my driver, I can certainly add any debugging there, but it seems 
obvious to me, that the kernel is still getting a mono configuration, 
which shouldn't be the cae.

If you mean "dmesg" output, then, as I said, there isn't much to look for 
there - the kernel is configured for mono...
