It actually does make a perfect sense. A non-zero recidx means that
the driver/applications can use it as a recording/input source since
that particular dev capable of providing sound sources to be recorded.

You cannot record anything from SOUND_MIXER_RECLEV since it doesn't
provide sound of its own, unlike SOUND_MIXER_VOLUME/PHONEOUT/CD/etc.

Make sense, right?
