I'm playing with an idea to start gathering of all ALSA tests around and make a GUI for them. But it might make sense to use something more portable than C language and use standard ALSA tools (amixer, aplay) as backends ;-) For USB cards, the dB ranges read from hw are not correct. We have to overwrite these bad values in the driver. Unfortunately, the USB driver doesn't show the USB descriptor -> ALSA control mapping to gather all necessary information for the code updates. I'm working on a patch right now to obtain this information using procfs.
