Fwd: Possible patch for #12706

[Jeff Cook]

This is a patch that makes WINE detect snd_usb_audio mics and assign
them a mixer and working master control. See bug #12706 for more
information about this problem: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12706

I wasn't able to test it completely because I wasn't able to switch my
default input device to the USB mic and no one in IRC is helping with
this, but it might make things work because theoretically the only
problem was that WINE was ignoring devices that looked like
snd_usb_audio's microphones. I suggest that someone who CAN get
snd_usb_audio mic as their default test it out and confirm, I would
really appreciate that.

Thanks to all in IRC who helped me get things this far, especially
mlankhorst.

This patch is based against the current git HEAD, eaa227c12d8bb. I've
also posted it at the aforementioned bug.

Please hold this patch until after Wine 1.2 is released.  Others may 
comment on the content to help you improve your code.

Also, if you are proposing new functionality, you have to include 
conformance tests that prove what you are trying to do is what native 
Windows does.

If you really want to force it, do lsmod |grep snd and do modprobe -r
over all driver modules, snd-usb-audio and usually snd-hda-intel or
something like that. Then modprobe snd-usb-audio and it will be the
only audio device, so its always the default. ;)
