Well, I found some description :

Normal : "> numid=13,iface=MIXER,name='Multi Track Peak'

peak meter.  read only."

So my question is now, how can I use them ? I guess that I don't need them in
jack, it is other meters like meterbridge or the ones in ardour.

But when running alsa, nothing append with them in the alsamixer, no matter
which setup I made and even when I get the sound at the output.

Right : "the analog output routing for each channel.  they're enum."

> Multi Track Internal Clock [96000]: I put it at the same value that in jackd

"> numid=2, iface=MIXER,name='Multi Track Internal Clock'

the internal clock of the board.
note that ice1724 has a single rate for all channels."

> Multi Track Rate Looking [On]: What is this?

"> numid=3, iface=MIXER,name='Multi Track Rate Locking'

the rate locking - allow each app to set the rate or use

the fixed rate."

> Multi track Rate Reset [On]: What is this?

"> numid=4, iface=MIXER,name='Multi Track Rate Reset'

reset the rate to the default value at each time the PCM is closed.
(the default value is the last internal clock rate.)"
