It's a good question whether the setup should be the codec (driver) dependent or generic. I tend to believe that we'll need some codec-specific workarounds, at least, to keep the same level of the driver support as now.
In my earler development, I implemented some byte-code implementer in the driver so that it can be handled in a generic way. The current codec specific implementation is interpreted to a byte-code in the user-space tool, and it runs on the driver. Of course, this method adds an interpreter to the driver, and I'm also not sure whether this method is optimal.
I'll have a look at the current hda-tools and see how it works before emmiting any opinion, I am aware that the codec configuration is more complicated than it looks.
