The fundamental idea to add / delete the kctls from the put callback
is unacceptable; as repeated many times, this is known to break
existing applications.  As long as you are sticking with this idea, it
can go [no] further.  Please avoid it and use the (more or less) static
configuration instead.

to put the implications of this in clear words:
you want me to spend additional time
on a driver barely anyone still cares about
to actively degrade the (my!) user experience
to avoid hypothetical / likely obsolete crashes
that would happen upon a rare user-controlled event
in unspecified buggy (mixer? (!)) applications,
while a known-good fallback exists (alsamixer).

i fail to see how that is even _remotely_ a reasonable request, and therefore have no intention whatsoever to follow it.

regards
