Thanks for your review and advice!

It seems etter to extend and reuse alsaconf syntax, instead of adding 
topology specific code. This can also benefit UCM if users want to split 
common codec or SOC settings to other files.

alsaconf already support using absolute path to include a file. But it 
seems we cannot give a relative path (e.g. just a file name) and a 
configuration directory by <confdir:xxx>. I'll try to extend alsaconf.

The other patch is a bug fixing, if it's okay, could it be merged first?

Thanks
