PA open "front" device for playback and capture is one of the reason why so
many user complain about recording volume is too low since the softvol
plugin in front device only provide atteunation
It is possible for softvol plugin to reject a capture stream to use a name
containing "Playback" or a playback stream to use a name containing
"Capture"

SNDERR("Invalid resolution value %d", resolution);
return -EINVAL;

"Playback")) > 0 ) {

+ stream == SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK ? "Playback" : "Capture" );

if (mode & SND_PCM_NO_SOFTVOL) {
err = snd_pcm_slave_conf(root, slave, &sconf, 0);

err = snd_pcm_open_named_slave(pcmp, name, root, sconf, stream,
mode, conf);
