yes.  perhaps modem-in corresponds to the mono on ac97.
the range from 0x02 to 0x18 on ac97 corresponds to 0x00 - 0x16 on
aztech, but others are apparently not.

i guess it's NOT really compatible with ac97.  or is there any
reigster to change the behavior?
anyway, we don't have to stick with ac97 in this case.  the mixer
controls can be built in the driver.
