Right, that's because DAPM has always just reimplemented everything and
the virtual controls were grafted on the side of the existing register
stuff rather than adding an abstraction layer.

Yes, that looks sensible to me but I didn't test it yet either.

Performance isn't that big a deal, probably avoiding the alloc/frees
by just keeping one around somewhere convenient would be useful too.
