Unfortunately, I don't understand C code very well, and nothing of kernel programming at all. I doubt whether I would be able to apply the patch, even if I used the same module as you do (which I don't).

I do also think that this piece of code (as far as I understan it) should be used more often or more centrally! On many sound cards, the master volume doesn't seem to control the volume of all channels (which it should definitely).
