I wrote "mixer controls to switch between these settings for each
substream", i.e., each substream would have its own flag.
[Harsha] I am still not comfortable how to do this... I guess EMU10K1 handle this kind of mixer controls for switching... I shall look into this driver to learn more

ALSA does not have a predefined mechanism to set it from userspace.
Your driver can initialize it when it is probed, or it can change it
when opening the substream.
[Harsha] Thanks.... so can I assume that when I open a substream, I can set a private_data to communicate to the driver if its voice/music?
