Okay, well, in userspace it would be something like this.

Not too sure about that subformat thing by the way. Jaroslav (or anyone, 
obviously): is the subformat intended/designed to be format-specific or 
snd_pcm_t global?

Currently there is only ever one subformat (STD) anyway but generally, I'd 
expect a subformat to be specific to a given format. There's just one non 
format-specific SND_PCM_SUBFORMAT_LAST though, no defines (or functions) to 
get subformats from the format. Is the design that all formats would be 
supporting all subformats or something?

This is modelled after the hw_params file in an opened substream directory 
(and ignores the possibility of anything more involved than simple min-max 
intervals). Provide a "-c" for the capture direction.

Not sure if this helps much (other than hopefully teaching me about subformats).
