This removes the need to hardcode the ELD device index in the path
configuration. The hardcoded values don't work with the Intel HDMI LPE
driver.

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint
generates numerous warnings during packaging because of this.
This patch changes all FSF addresses to FSF web page according to
the GPL how-to: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

Previously the path description was looked up based on the
path name only. Since there can be multiple paths that use
the same description, it had to be possible to have multiple
paths with the same name.
Having the same name with multiple paths makes identifying
the paths more complex than necessary, so the plan is to
make it impossible to have paths with the same name. This
patch prepares for that by retaining the possibility to
still have the same description with multiple paths. Instead
of the path name, the path description is looked up by using
the "path description key" if it is set (path name is still
used as a fallback lookup key).
The alsa mixer kcontrol has "device index" 3, 7, 8, and 9.
We need to configure this properly.

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 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).

This switch needs to be off for analog output to work on several
Audigy cards.
Thanks to Daniel T Chen for the patch.

This change makes it possible to configure an arbitrary constant volume for a
volume element in the path configuration, which is applied when the path is
selected. Note: this is only useful when the exact hardware and driver are
known beforehand.
This feature is mainly useful in embedded systems that have built-in speakers.
In such situations the full audio path is known beforehand, so it's possible to
know what is the maximum sensible volume, and any higher volume can be
disabled.
The volume limit is set in path configuration files in the [Element] section,
using option "volume-limit". The value is the desired maximum volume step of
the volume element.
Now you can add required-any to elements in a path and the path
will be valid as long as at least one of the elements are present.
Also you can have required, required-any and required-absent in
element options, causing a path to be unsupported if an option is
(not) present (simplified example: to skip line in path if
"Capture source" doesn't have a "Line In" option).

Completely rework mixer logic. This now allows controlling a full set of
elements from a single sink's volume slider/mute button.
This also introduces sink and source "ports" that can be used to choose
different input or output ports with the UI. (i.e. "mic"/"line-in" or
"speaker"/"headphones".
The mixer paths and device maps are now configered in external
configuration files and can be tweaked as necessary.
