Summary:                    Better support for new USB-Microphone Samson C01U
Description: 
I recently bought this microphone:
http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1810&brandID=2
and have been quite pleased to see that it kind of works with alsa. I've
only been puzzled by a few oddities: Although the mic is mono, I get a
stereo input with 2 controls, which did even influence the sound on both
channels separatly, but in a not-so-clear way.

Since neither the windows, nor the OSX usb-audio driver are able to fully
control the device, especially the internal gain-control, Samson has
published a modified driver & tool to control such parameters. I have
investigated that tool with an usb-traffic sniffer (usbsnoop).

I did also do some experiments with the alsa driver to see, what the
controls really do and how the device might be designed internally. I have
found out about everything needed to make the device fully supported, I
just don't really know how to implement it, so I'm hoping someone will
guide and help me. Although I'd really like to, I'm not a kernel hacker.

What I basically want to do is remap and rename the mixer-controls and
output lines alsa exposes. Is that what the quirks are for?

Details about the device and my findings follow below:

I recommend you to post this to alsa-devel ML rather than here on BTS in
cases of not real "bugs"...
