These updates of running should really have a snd_ctl_notify() so that
UIs can know to update when the value changes while they're open.

This feels a bit messy but I'm not sure what we'd do that's better so
unless someone else has better ideas let's go with this.  Possibly we
should standardise this as a new control type for joining cards up so at
least if there's further needs for this we can use the same solution?
