Based on your previous e-mail (you need to set up your filter in your machine driver via GPIOs, correct?) you probably want to use SOC_ENUM_EXT(). This will set up the kcontrol so that functions in your machine driver get called whenever someone tries to read or write its value. There are a number of examples of this in ASoC machine drivers -- one good example is found in sound/soc/pxa/corgi.c. Look at the wm8731_corgi_controls array and you'll see an example of a simple on/off control and another one with several possible values. You can work your way backwards from there to see how everything is set up. Also be sure to note the call to snd_ctl_add() in corgi_wm8731_init().
