[alsa-devel] [PATCH] Add volume resolution quirk for some Logitech webcams.

[Alexey Fisher]

Some programs like Skype trying to set capture volume automatically.
Normally it will tray, carefully step by step lover or higher, set the volume.
In real word it work not really well, because devises and vendors lie about
real audio settings.
For example most Logitech webcams have 6400 or 3500 steps for capture volume.
They do not tell that actual resolution is 384. So we have only 7 or 18 real
steps. In this patch I set real resolution only for tested devices.
