Nope. Please, define the controls at the driver initialization phase and
make them inactive when the stream is not open. See emu10k1 or trident
driver for hints. You must also map the voice volume with substream
number.
Creating controls dymanically has only sense when hardware changes (like a
new DSP is loaded for emu10k1).
