[PATCH 2/4] ALSA: usb-audio: add quirk QUIRK_FLAG_MIXER_CAPTURE_MIN_MUTE

From: Cryolitia PukNgae via B4 Relay
Date: Wed Sep 03 2025 - 01:10:17 EST


From: Cryolitia PukNgae <cryolitia@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The same hardware problem to QUIRK_FLAG_MIXER_PLAYBACK_MIN_MUTE also
occurs on the capture streams on some USB devices. Add a new flag for
processing the quirk.
