That is part of the code Liam wrote, but let me answer it (and maybe Liam chime
in if it is wrong or needs more explanation).

It's just the numid of an alsa control which should be used as master playback,
etc in this scenario. It aliases the function we can use with ascenario to the
real ones in alsa which can bedifferent for different scenarios.

Attached. default.conf is the main configuration file located at
/etc/alsa/scenario/default.conf

playback_hs is an example of scenario syntax and playback_hs_sequence is an
example of the sequence syntax. Both file names are referenced from default.conf
and located under
/etc/alsa/scenario/default/
