[alsa-devel] ASoC: TLV320AIC3x: Adding additional functionality for 3106 with [Patch] for discuss

[Timur Karaldin]

Ok, I choose the way #1 without changing kcontrol names.
Another thing I don't understand is the way for caching gain volume if I 
have switches muted. Is there any proper way for storing cached values 
between gain and switch handlers includes soft reset or I need manually 
check kcontrol name in handler and cache values in extended private 
structure? The same question for switch handler, because I need to share 
cached values between these handlers.
