This layer was designed to support large mixer matrixes like in the HDSPM driver (and if I remember correctly - implementation was started after discussion with authors of RME drviers). HDSPM driver uses hwdep interface now (probably because it was ported from the OSS code). I think that it would be worth to use standard ALSA control interface to track changes thus to finish indirect interface. Which problems are with the 32/64 bit conversion layer? I suppose that it is possible to write an ioctl converters.
