Input source for single subdevice right? I've 3 sub device, does it have
to do anything with the fact that I've 3 input source in alsamixer? Do
the 3 input source mark 3 different subdevices?
By muxing you mean muxing via software the multiple individual (and
simultaneous) audio input streams as supported by the cards?
