I spent a fair bit of time debugging the code setting/getting mixer control
values, and I can't see anything that seems to be operating incorrectly.

It is probably worth committing the clock selector patch - it at least made
capture work, and it may help with other audio interfaces.
Thanks for your help,
Mike
