I still don't understand why this belongs into the dmesg instead of
sndstat...

In my eyes it would be nice if every soundcard would list the features it
offers in sndstat. This not only consists of it's capabilities, it also
should list SPDIF output, EAX and so on (either when we gain support for
those features, or with an explicit "not supported" text). I think this
would be more userfriendly than printing this in the dmesg on verbose boot
only.

Bye,
Alexander.
