ALSA: doc: ReSTize hdspm.txt
A simple conversion from a plain text file. Quite a few reformatting in the end due to the style of the original document. Put to cards directory. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

Since DSP-MADI-Mixer has 8152 Fader, it does not make sense to

use the standard mixer-controls, since this would break most of

Also all 128+256 Peak and RMS-Meter can be accessed via the

copying and converting Peak and RMS-Levels even if you just need
