When a "Headphone Mic" jack becomes available, we do not know if
a headphone or a mic has been plugged in. Therefore, setting both
paths to "unknown" is, in theory, the correct thing to do.
However, in practice, people are more likely to plug in a headphone
rather than a mic. Therefore, allow autoswitch to the headphone port
when the jack is plugged in.
A more advanced implementation would consider what was plugged in last
time depending on what port was selected on the input side at that
time, and set availability accordingly. However, such an implementation
will have to wait (probably at least until we have our fancy routing
system implementation).

On some machines which has a headset jack, the headset mic does not have its own
jack detection. Then we can look at the headphone jack to get some indication:
We know that if the headphone is unplugged, so is the headset mic. The opposite
is not guaranteed since the user might have plugged in a headphone, not a headset.
Also, there exist multi-function jacks which support both Headphone, Mic in headphone jack
and Headset Mic. In this case the jack name will be "Headphone Mic", not "Headphone", so
we need to include this name too.

The IDT/Sigmatel codec driver often creates a "Mic Jack Mode" for
every mic jack, so it can change functionality between Mic and Line In.
However, as the "Mic Jack" is the standard naming, our current solution
does not make the Line In port unavailable when nothing is plugged in.
This patch makes the "Line In" port not to be created just because there
is a "Mic Jack Mode" that could be set to "Line". This makes the behaviour
consistent with e g "Dock Mic Jack Mode", "Front Mic Jack Mode" etc, where
we don't create a "Dock Line" or "Dock Mic" port either.

Some ASUS netbooks, such as the 1015 CX, have only one 3.5 mm jack,
but it can be used either as a headphone or as a mic (but not both
simultaneously).
This patch adds support for the "Headphone Mic" path that is used
on these devices, so that we can use the jack as an external mic, and
doing so without muting the speaker.

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.

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.

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.

This requires dcaenc from http://aepatrakov.narod.ru/dcaenc/
"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
without these controls.

The recent change to turn off the IEC958 element for analog paths

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",

I've seen more than one system where the volume control named
"Front" is a part of audio path for headphones. This is somewhat
of a compromise: While we don't merge it into the path, as that
would be regressing machines where "Front" isn't a part of the
audio path, it would still enable sound on these machines.

Now that subset mixer paths are removed, this workaround is no longer needed.
This effectively reverts 1c38b5d478 but due
to me forgetting to add files and adding a couple extra workarounds after,
it's easier to just do this manually rather than run git-revert.
