well, let me clarify more the problems. - the patch copies the whole audio data with the software attenuation. we don't want this in the kernel context. this should be the job in the user-space, pereferrably in alsa-lib. - the patch introduces float calculation. it's not allowed at all in the kernel code. the control of ac97 mic and line sharing is a good point. the similar thing can be implemented more easily by the alsa-lib's hook plugin, though.
