Takashi, Attached please find the second installment of separated patches you requested. I decided to submit this patch before receiving your response to my questions because only one of the questions pertained to this patch (the question regarding the renaming of volume controls), and I have come to the conclusion that this patch should maintain existing functionality regarding the volume controls. My reasoning for this is that the mixer controls for the Analog Devices surround CODECs appear to have multiple problems that justify a separate project, time permitting. I'd rather focus this patch on the work I've done so far, and save these other enhancements for another time. Randy Cushman
