Implementation of support for audio controls in accordance with the
extension of the virtio sound device specification [1] planned for
virtio-v1.3-cs01.

The device can announce the VIRTIO_SND_F_CTLS feature. If the feature is
negotiated, then an additional field appears in the configuration space:

  struct virtio_snd_config {
    ...
    /* number of available control elements */
    __le32 controls;
  };

The driver can send the following requests to manage audio controls:

  enum {
    ...
    /* control element request types */
    VIRTIO_SND_R_CTL_INFO = 0x0300,
    VIRTIO_SND_R_CTL_ENUM_ITEMS,
    VIRTIO_SND_R_CTL_READ,
    VIRTIO_SND_R_CTL_WRITE,
    VIRTIO_SND_R_CTL_TLV_READ,
    VIRTIO_SND_R_CTL_TLV_WRITE,
    VIRTIO_SND_R_CTL_TLV_COMMAND,
    ...
  };

And the device can send the following audio control event notification:

  enum {
    ...
    /* control element event types */
    VIRTIO_SND_EVT_CTL_NOTIFY = 0x1200,
    ...
  };
