Josh, this is what confuses me, below is the convention for this file,

control.39 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type INTEGER
                comment.range '0 - 16383'
                iface MIXER
                name 'IEC958 Capture Volume'
                index 1
                value.0 0
                value.1 0
        }

How, using this convention, do I set "Mic As Center/LFE" to "false"? Cheers.
