OK, it's not a kernel driver, but anyway, skype uses both the kernel
drivers (from /proc) and the alsa config file, and it seems abnormal
that other programs, including alsamixer, are unable to do that.

that doesn't work: after typing the device name, alsamixer crashes
with the message:
cannot load mixer controls: Broken pipe
and even if it worked, that would not tell me how to use the headset in
audio programs like vlc ( with aplay, -D bluetooth works)
