Hmm, I'm not sure whether I understand what you're trying to do. You
want to add mixers that are not added by the generic driver? Then just
have a look how this is done for other devices, like for example for
the "Traktor Audio 10". Or do I miss your point?


As a general rule, let the check-patch.pl script that ships with the
kernel have a look at your patches, it will point out obvious coding
style issues and the like :)
