We may try to address those media-controller dependent code latter on.

I have some ideas of adding some macros and helper functions to allow
getting rid of those ifdefs and not add extra code if !MEDIA_CONTROLLER,
but the better seems to first add MC support to ALSA and make the
enable/disable functions generic, and then cleanup the code to remove
those ifdefs.
