init_audigy initialize dsp in same way as it is initialized in alsa
driver for audigy 1. Some Audigy cards need swapped channels for ac3
some not.

For mute control you can look in
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2137
there is patch, it is old, but probably will work. It is tested only on

PCM Center, PCM Front, PCM Surround, PCM LFE are for 5.1 playback
(surround51 device)

Front, Center, Surround, LFE controls upmixing of all stereo sources to
5.1 (PCM + analog outputs).
