There is still an issue... wether to enable softvol or not... With
snd-aoa, the card name is always the same but wether it has hardware
volume control or not (Toonie doesn't) is not known... Alsa should have
ways to add softvol automatically if no master volume control exist.

Hm, good point. I probably need to completely revamp the card handling
and not create a card object before the codecs are registered. That way,
I could influence the naming through the codecs.

Maybe ... or not... I'd rather not bother. I think Alsa should be able
to create softvol if there is no Master volume...
