Where does the stuff in this file actually come from? Does alsalib
interrogate the sound card driver for all this info, and then translate it
into this human-readable form? Or is some of this file created by a human
in the first place, in order to provide alsalib with additional
information that can't be obtained from the driver?

For instance, my Intel sound system with a Realtek ALC888 codec includes
the following item:

        control.25 {
                iface MIXER
                name 'IEC958 Playback Switch'
                index 16
                value false
                comment {
                        access 'read write'
                        type BOOLEAN
                        count 1
                }
        }

Is "25" the physical number of something, or just an arbitrary array
index? Is "MIXER" a name known to the driver, built into alsalib, or
arbitrary? How about "IEC958 Playback Switch"? What about "index 16"? Is
the "access" item alsalib's way of telling me that this is a read/write
variable, which it knows from the driver, or is it somebody's way of
telling alsalib that this is a read/write variable?
