If you have widgets defined matching what you specify in audio_map, you
should see mixer command i.e "ADC Mux' base on audio map you have
given. Then you give amixer 'ADC Mux' 'LINE_IN', this would translate
to writing codec register to have ADC Mux take LINE_IN as input. Audio
map is defined base on your CODEC topology. I would not be able to
comment on how to enable CODEC loopback for your CODEC. However,
the audio map you provided above is kind of fishy. For example,
shouldn't DAC be sink instead of source
{"DAC", "DAC", "DAC MUX"} as opposed to {"DAC Mux", "DAC", "DAC"}
