The softvol PCM plugin is added. It applies the software volume attenuation,
which may be useful for codecs without volume controls.
Currently, the control is only mono. The attenuation is applied to all
channels equally. The control is probed and automatically created
when not exists yet.
New snd_pcm_hw_params_* functions are available only explicitly when
ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API is defined.
Updated documentation and test code to new API.

Control:
- fixed passing parameters to snd_ctl_async
