Yes, but that's interpretation of what it's going to be used for.
The hardware either subtracts or not, nothing more.
That said, I'll change it to "Stereo" and "Mono Differential".

According to Documentation/sound/alsa/ControlNames.txt that is not a valid name.
Also alsa-lib does special things depending on the control name so we are not
free to choose here. If it were me freely choosing the names then half the
control names in this module would change.

Likewise. I can see that it's confusing... but what should we do?

I agree. It would be nice to use this in the future when it's merged.
Will you post it?

Indeed. Also for "Differential Line Capture Switch" except for the enum, I suppose.

What does it do differently? Seems to use different callback and all.
Is it worth changing an extensively tested patch because of it?
>And what about microphone bias?
The User Manual mentions microphone bias exactly once - in the summary.
Searching for just "bias", there's AC_ADDA_BIAS_CTRL "for DAC/ADC
performance tuning" and AC_DAC_CAL BIASCALI.
Is it one of those? How does it work?

Because they exist in hardware.
Also Mic1 and Mic2 are listed as well, so for symmetry.

Indeed.
