That part was done already. I was looking at PulseAudio integration. By
looking at additional source code, I found out I could retrieve the card
and device number with snd_pcm_info_get_card() and
snd_pcm_info_get_device(). 
I can now read the ELD control from PulseAudio, all I need is to add the
ELD parsing and set the codecs supported by the receiver accordingly.
