Hi,
I added support for "Playback Pitch 1000000" ctl elem to UAC2 gadget
(not submitted to USB yet) and now I am working on alsaloop support for
this ctl elem. The changes are simple (tested to work perfectly, patch
to follow), but during the work I hit the following issue with playback
Loopback "PCM Rate Shift 100000".
If the snd-aloop device is on playback side (i.e. capture from soundcard
-> Loopback), the required sync mode is PLAYSHIFT. That means Loopback
ctl elem "PCM Rate Shift 100000" should be controlled (by a reciprocal).
That is simple by a patch like this:

However, IIUC how the Loopback device works, the "PCM Rate Shift 100000"
ctl elem applicable to device=0 on playback side is that of the capture
side, i.e. for device=1. The patch above would pick the playback-side
device=0 ctl elem in pcmjob.c:openctl_elem. Hard-coding the device=0 ->
device=1 is possible, but Loopback supports more devices.
Please what solution for picking the correct "PCM Rate Shift 100000" ctl
elem for the PLAYSHIFT sync mode would you recommend?
Thanks a lot,
Pavel.
