It's not the name, it's the almost total lack of documentation that
makes mixer controls so confusing. I am going to make up a page from
what I have learned, but I feel that I am still scratching on the
surface. For example I still wonder what these controls do:
- 3D Control - Switch
- 3D Control Sigmatel - Depth
- 3D Control Sigmatel - Rear Depth
- Sigmatel 4-Speaker Stereo Playback Switch
