that wasn't too hard. I have implemented stubs just to see how it fits 
together.

It doesn't do quite what I want.  The existing HPI ioctl has one device file 
for the driver, whether one or sixteen cards are installed, and its name 
doesn't change depending on the card index. (I.e. userspace accesses the 
whole (HPI) audio subsystem through the one /dev/asihpi)

ALSA makes one device file per card, and the file name depends on the card 
index.  Is there any way I can make a single device for the driver that has 
an unchanging name (preferably /dev/asihpi)
