No problem; according to the datasheet, this node does not have amp-out
caps, and the driver has to read them from the default node instead.
But this appears to work correctly, or you wouldn't have any control for
this node.

At the moment, no working mechanism for changing control information in
user space exists.  (But it should be possible to make the "default"
control device some new plugin that redirects to the "hw" device while
changing some entries.)
