Some devices have inverted right channel, so when you add left and right,
the result is silence, or very faint sound. In recent kernels (3.5,
perhaps also 3.4) these are starting to be marked with a special
"Inverted Internal Mic" capture switch.
While we might want to add some reverse summing mechanism in the
future, for now, we just turn the thing off to avoid the problem of
recording silence.

For kernel 3.6, "phantom jack" kctls have been added. They serve as
a marker that a particular port exist. They were made so we can detect
that there actually are speakers and internal mic on a laptop, even if
there are no other indications (volume controls etc).

Several laptops have speaker ports, and/or internal mic ports, but we have
no way of detecting that. So we make the port(s) always show up for these
devices.

In practice there is always at least one profile, and I
don't think there will ever be cards without profiles.
Therefore, I added assertions to pa_card_new() stating that
the card new data must always contain at least one profile.
Now a lot of code can be simplified, because it's guaranteed
that the profiles hashmap and the active_profile field are
always non-NULL.
I doesn't make sense to require all callers of
pa_device_port_new() to create the hashmap themselves. There
are and there will be no cases where a port without any
profiles would be desired.

Changes in v2:
- Call the mapping a generic 4-channel input mapping
instead of a 4-channel mic array mapping. The mapping
will be used also by sound cards that have two stereo
input jacks, so in those cases talking about mic arrays
is wrong.
- Added a comment about using the "hw" device name.

Log in as user A, fast user switch to user B, let user B change
port, volume or mute status, then switch back to user A.
At this point we must make sure that the ALSA and PA volumes are
synchronised by writing to the ALSA mixer when the ALSA device
becomes available.

If deferred volumes were activated, set_volume does not really set
the volume, and is probably only meant to be called from the main
thread.
As we're currently really setting the port and the mute here (i e
modifying ALSA), we should really modify the volume as well.

Valid channel id range is from 0 to SND_MIXER_SCHN_LAST,
inclusive, so the size of the masks array in pa_alsa_element
has to be SND_MIXER_SCHN_LAST + 1. Similar "too small"
arrays were also in alsa-sink's and alsa-source's userdata,
but actually those arrays were not used at all so they were
removed.
element_is_subset() in alsa-mixer.c skipped the last channel
id when iterating the element masks array; that's now fixed
as well.
Thanks to David Henningsson for spotting the too small
arrays in alsa-sink and alsa-source and the
element_is_subset() problem.
If somebody writes the line "required-any=ignore", that shouldn't
mean a required-any element needs to be present for the path to
succeed probing.

Some older cards do not have jack detection. This patch makes the
port still show up.
An implementation detail: the "required = ignore" line has in itself
no effect, but we have to write *something* there, or else the entire
jack detection section will be ignored by the parser.

While developing the new UI we had to ask ourselves the question of whether
"speakers" should be considered available when headphones are plugged in.
In most cases, they are not available and therefore we should list them
as such.
OTOH, we don't want unplugging the headphones to be considered an act of
wanting to use the speakers (the user might prefer HDMI), and there might
be line-outs that keeps the speakers from unmuting anyway. So, at this point,
I think the most reasonable would be to make the speakers have
PA_PORT_AVAILABLE_NO when headphones are plugged in and
PA_PORT_AVAILABLE_UNKNOWN when they are not. But we might want to revisit
this decision once we have the priority lists up and running.
The same reasoning applies for "Internal Mic", which should become unavailable
when any other mic is plugged in.

Support the new jack detection interface implemented in Linux 3.3
(and Ubuntu's 3.2 kernel).
Jacks are probed and detected using the snd_hctl_* commands, which
means we need to listen to them using fdlists. As this detection
needs to be active even if there is currently no sink for the jack,
so this polling is done on the card level.
Also add configuration support in paths, like this:
[Jack Headphone]
required-any = any
...where 'Jack Headphone' should match 'Headphone Jack' as given by
ALSA (as seen in e g 'amixer controls').
"Required", "required-any" and "required-absent" is supported. Using
required-any, one can have several ports even though there is no
other indication in the mixer that this path exists.

Hi. Could you please apply the attached trivial patch so that I could drop
the corresponding instructions from dcaenc's README file in the future? It
adds a profile for on-the-fly DTS encoding, similar to the existing AC3
profile.

If alsa settings/options were used, the string to construct the

The practical problem is that some users were left with only one
"LFE on Mono" port, as analog-output was considered a subset of
analog-output-lfe-on-mono. Which was not what they wanted.

"Front Speaker", "Surround Speaker" seems to be a common enough name
to make it into alsa-utils, so we should probably care about it as
well. In this case, there was a macbook pro whose speakers didn't work

The recent change to turn off the IEC958 element for analog paths
exposed a bug in AC3 profiles. These were inheriting the analog output
path instead of explicitly selecting the iec958 path.
Thanks to David Henningsson for pointing this out.
This is needed for the Creative Audigy CA0106 to work. Also makes sure
that the LED for optical out is shut down in analog modes on MacBooks
(these share a port for analog and digital output).

Just like we turn off the "Front Mic" element when we select "Rear Mic",
we should also turn off the "Front Mic Boost" element. And the same for
the other inputs.

To be able to add ports to all profiles, we need to probe all
profiles at startup. To speed this up, we now have a cache of
probes paths which is owned by the profile set. Since paths
are now owned by the profile set, the path set must now have
a hashmap of paths instead of a linked list.
