ALSA BeBoB driver doesn't touch internal multiplexer of your device.
Thus, you need to use the other tools such as ffado-dbus-server/ffado-mixer.

This comes from a design that functionalities except for packet
streaming should be implemented in userspace applications. This results
to diet codes for kernel streaming driver.

Additionally, each model which ALSA BeBoB driver can support has each
design, model-dependent functionalities. This may bring much codes if
implemented in kernel space, and make it hard to maintein.

Hm, I'll check ffado tools to clear these two issues. But I'll recommend
you to post them to ffado-devel because the tools are not related to
ALSA project.


Thanks and sorry to be late for catching up.
