i am not offering to change the interface, but to implement a simpler
third interface (as usbaudio implements volume). poor diction on my part.
the point is that there are currently two semi-incompatable interfaces,
do people consider the current two adequate? (apparently volume was not,
and i don't consider audioctl to be). and what do other people think
about an alternative?
