Hmm or maybe there is some way to select where qmi to tunnels the
AT commands to? Some kind of channel type paramenter like n_gsm
has?

Anyways, for trying to figure out things for alsamixer, I tested
that ngsm 2 "AT+EACC=3,0" is not related to cpcap audio register
settings and the mic is enabled during the call with Pavel's patch
with alsamixer "Mode" set to either "Call" or "Normal". Also speaker
keeps working during the call toggling between "Call" and "Normal".
"Voice" in alsamixer does also control the speaker volume during
the call. And setting the second "Speaker" from "Voice" to "HiFi"
mutes the speaker.

Then alsamixer capture settings for "Mic2" do change the mic gain
as expected, and setting "Right" to "Off" mutes the mic. And then
setting "Left" to "Mic 2" turns on the mic again.

So my guess is that ngsm 2 "AT+EACC=3,0" and ngsm 2 "AT+CLVL=4"
might control some external amp over the mdm6600 gpio pins?
With "AT+CLVL" values being 0 7 it sounds like 3 gpios for that?
