This logic is bad. We can have user-defined controls for the user space 
drivers or daemons.

The additional flag to mixer open functions - as proposed by Takashi - is 
more appropriate in this case when there is a system handling the software 
volume itself. But the question is quite same: How we can distinguish the 
software volume control? I think that some TLV information might do this 
job well.
