This test covers the new Virtual PCM Test Driver, including the capturing,
playback and ioctl redefinition functionalities for both interleaved and
non-interleaved access modes. This test is also helpful as an usage example
of the 'pcmtest' driver.

We have a lot of different virtual media drivers, which can be used for
testing of the userspace applications and media subsystem middle layer.
However, all of them are aimed at testing the video functionality and
simulating the video devices. For audio devices we have only snd-dummy
module, which is good in simulating the correct behavior of an ALSA device.
I decided to write a tool, which would help to test the userspace ALSA
programs (and the PCM middle layer as well) under unusual circumstances
to figure out how they would behave. So I came up with this Virtual PCM
Test Driver.
