ALSA: snd-meastro3: Document hardware volume control a bit

While working on a fix for the volume being muted on the allegro in my
Compaq EVO N600C after suspend, I've learned a few things about the hardware
volume control worth documenting. The actual fix for the suspend / resume
issue is in the next patch in this set.
