Fix for a -Warray-bounds warning. mixer_notify_update() tries to
write to ((CAPI_MSG *) msg)->info.facility_req.structs[3] while
structs is defined as byte structs[1], define structs[1] as
structs[4].

I suspect that all the 'byte structs[1];' fields defined in that header
are actually variable-length arrays.  In that case, there may be no
reasonable bound you can specify.

Yes, exactely, the structs is a ASN1 coded message so it can have any len.

So, how can we get rid of the compiler warning then?

Try defining it as a 'variable sized array' - byte structs[0].

Okay, that works. I'll send an updated patch.
