Many drivers assume this for playback, i.e., they set these bits once when the PCM stream is configured. When capturing, these bits could change at any time, depending on the source. Most drivers allow to read the current values of these bits. > 2) In the case HW saves the user data and channel status in its internal > registers, how would the ALSA stack know if any of them changed? It wouldn't know at all, unless the hardware can issue an interrupt for this situation. There is a flag SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_VOLATILE for controls that can change their value without notification. > 3) Is there a bridge application in the ALSA stack?

It would be possible to write an application that records and then plays back the data, or to pipe the output of arecord into aplay. ALSA doesn't have any built-in functionality for that.
