[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#222434: Fix amixer to reject invalid commands

[buechi at rz.uni-potsdam.de]

Summary: Fix amixer to reject invalid commands 

The patch brings amixer to reject invalid commands, for example:	 "amixer set
Master,0 nocap" makes no sense, if there is no capture switch at the Master
Mixer Control. It also handles the invalid command, when more than 1 command is
submited. For example: "amixer set Master,0 nocap 50%,50%" does nothing. 

Additional it rejects commands like "amixer -c 1 get Line,0 80%,40% unmute cap"
where unnecessary options are submited.
