Could someone get me some insight into the snd_kontrol_new?
I'm especially interested in the "private_value" and "index" field. At
least in usb_mixer.c it seems to me like private_value is used as the
index!? If that's the case, when should index be used and when
private_value?
Is there any special convention for the string of "name" field?
