Surround 2.1 is one of the more common surround profiles these days,
so it's about time we support it.
The "surround21" was added to alsa-lib a few months ago, and there
hasn't yet been an alsa-lib release since, but I doubt it will change.

If there is a "Line Out" jack present, then add this path. The fallback
analog-output will be a subset of this path and removed.
I only use the "Line Out Jack" or "Line Out Front Jack" for actual jack
detection - without anything connected to the front jack, it makes little
sense to enable the port.
(Another option could perhaps be to use different paths for stereo line out
and surround line outs, but that could be a possible future improvement.)
As far as I can see, having a mono path in a stereo mapping doesn't
make any sense. It also causes breakage: if the Master Mono mixer
element has two volume channels, the analog-output path gets removed
due to being a subset of analog-output-mono, and that in turn causes
the Master element getting muted. Users generally don't like that.

Upstreamed from Debian: "Although in principle Ac '97 hardware has a
separate mono LFE pin nothing seems to use it. To make matters worse
it does confuse PulseAudio's port selection slightly which causes
audio in virtualbox not to work out of the box."

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.

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.

For Nvidia and Intel, support probing of up to four HDMI devices.
Also add port information to all HDMI profiles.

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.

Subject: [PATCH] alsa: add DTS profile
This requires dcaenc from http://aepatrakov.narod.ru/dcaenc/
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.
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.
