You can look up and try to implement the desired features yourself. These features are _not_ part of HW driver, i.e. these features are notneeded by the OS to make usage of HW, though they are nice to have. These features, since they are pure SW not related to the HW, should nothave been [art of the driver in first place. ALSA is about drivers and some "primitive" stuff like resampling, mixing,channel routing.
