NAME
       snd_device_new - create an ALSA device component


SYNOPSIS
       int snd_device_new  (snd_card_t * card, snd_device_type_t type,
                             void * device_data, snd_device_ops_t * ops);


ARGUMENTS
       card   the card instance

       type   the device type, SNDRV_DEV_XXX

       device_data
              the data pointer of this device

       ops    the operator table


DESCRIPTION
       Creates a new device component for the given data pointer.  The  device
       will be assigned to the card and managed together by the card.

       The  data  pointer  plays a role as the identifier, too, so the pointer
       address must be unique and unchanged.

       Returns zero if successful, or a negative error code on failure.
