To be frank, in my first atempt to fix it I just removed "}" at the end
and it worked. Applying this patch mendel Toonie as well. I don't know,
which aproach is better, I'm no ALSA expert.
To sum things up, the proposed patch works, at least for audio output.
Even if it doesn't make audio input work (I'm not sure, if there are any
Toonies with audio in), it's still better than before.
