Many desktops have headphone on the front and line outs on the back.
Sometimes this means that the headphone is labelled "Front Headphone Jack",
but the volume controls are only "Headphone Playback Volume", i e,
without the "Front" prefix.

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.

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.

"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.

that the LED for optical out is shut down in analog modes on MacBooks

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.

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.

The priorities should be set in the approximately likeliness that someone
would like to use them. This is hard to guess of course, but this is
a better guess compared to the existing configuration.

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.
Make sure that mic and line (with common names) use the specific
path instead of the analog-input one.

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).

This is needed to better support out of tree builds (including
distcheck) and to ensure the necessary folders are created in the
build tree on configure and also works around an intl-tools bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/+bug/605826)
The Makefile.am's used are minimal (and in some cases completely
blank). At present they do not include anything interesting
with the majority of the real work still done by the monolitic
src/Makefile.am
It may make sense to start splitting out src/Makefile.am into
smaller chunks but this commit makes the minimum changes to address
the issues that result from using make distcheck and other out of
tree builds.
Note: This 'breaks' the ability to type make in e.g. the src/modules
folder and have all of PA rebuilt accordingly (this is because the
static Makefiles previously present just did a "make -C ..") which
was purportedly for use in emacs. But I'm sure there will be a better
and more robust way to configure emacs to do your builds properly if
this behaviour is still desirable.

This is not 100% ideal as we have not way to tie specific boosts to specific
inputs and this particular chipset (as noted in #772) appears to
support just that.
For the time being incorporate it into the normal boost logic.
