I thought usage of this macro can tell applications that the PCM 
channels are not for surround sound.

But for this purpose, card configuration is better. Applications can get 
to know by seeking 'surround' PCM devices such like 'surround51'.

It's not my intention. I'm considering about the way to prevent 
applications from using the devices for surround sound.

I don't prepare for card configuration. So devices which my drivers 
support have no 'surround' PCM devices.

Yes.

In the same reason, 'SND_PCM_SUBCLASS_MULTI_MIX' should be removed. As a 
result, 'SND_PCM_SUBCLASS_XXX', 'struct snd_pcm_info.dev_subclass' are 
also needless...
