The indirect control access is removed from the kernel. This patch cleans the corresponding alsa-lib part.
Shouldn't this be kept for compatibility with older kernels? Eg: if someone update distro foobar from version X to version Y, he usually can boot either the old kernel from X or the new one from Y.
With such a change, booting the older kernel would result in missing features, wouldn't it?
