Some of MOTU models allows software to configure their DSP parameters by accessing to their registers. The models multiplex messages for status of DSP into isochronous packet as well as PCM frames. The message includes information of hardware metering, MIDI message, current parameters of DSP. For my convenience, I call them as 'register DSP' model. This patch adds message parser for them to gather hardware meter information.
