Almost fine with me. The option name is a bit terse. A newbie (or an alsa hacker wanabee like me) might not know which command is involved just by reading the parameter name (trace_cmd).
I'd rather have a slightly longer name like trace_codec_cmd
It sounds too long to me :)
At the risk of sounding harsh, we're talking about user interface, so our *personnal* preferences matter less than average user needs.
So, what would typical user prefer ? (knowing that the codec communication is a very important part of the driver's behaviour)
Short version:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa options snd-hda-intel trace_cmd=1 model=6stack-dig
or longer version :
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa options snd-hda-intel trace_codec_cmd=1 model=6stack-dig
Last but not least, a longer name may even save some typing: you may have less user questions to answer to... ;-)
That said, alsa is still your baby, so it's your call now.
Cheers
