In a former commit 37358e42c4 ("alsa: Suppress udev detection of sound
card for some units on IEEE 1394 bus"), PulseAudio has udev rules to
suppress handling some units on IEEE 1394 bus for a below issue:
Bug 199365 - repeating bus resets on Firewire bus with Focusrite Saffaire 26/io
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199365
However, I found that the rules match another model; Focusrite Liquid
Saffire 56. For detail, refer to below patch for Linux sound subsystem:
[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: bebob: use more identical mod_alias for
Saffire Pro 10 I/O against Liquid Saffire 56
https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2019-February/146003.html
For PulseAudio, the udev rule should be improved, because Liquid Saffire 56
(an application of TCAT TCD2200 ASIC, a.k.a Dice Jr.) can be handled by
pulseaudio without the issue.
This commit changes udev rule with model name instead of model_id from
configuration ROM. Below is data on udevd for Liquid Saffire 56, for

Headphones should have higher priority than lineout. Many people have
speakers always connected to lineout, and when plugging in headphones,
the audio should move to the headphones, which requires headphones
to have higher priority than lineout.
Previously this was handled by marking lineout unavailable when plugging
in headphones, but we don't do that any more.
This reverts commit 66f97c35bd. The commit
message was:
alsa-mixer: Disable line-out if headphone jack is plugged
Line-out gets muted when headphones are plugged in on HDA cards, encode
this in the line-out path so pulse can match that state.
I don't think the mentioned auto-muting happens any more by default,
and some users want to use lineout while having headphones plugged in.

A bug was filed to bugzilla.kernel.org for a quirk of some models which
ALSA BeBoB driver supports.
Bug 199365 - repeating bus resets on Firewire bus with Focusrite Saffaire 26/io
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199365
Some models (two models as long as I know) have a quirk to disappear from
IEEE 1394 bus at disconnections of packet streaming. Corresponding
character devices are removed according to 'remove' callbacks of relevant
drivers from Linux dd core. Then the models re-appear on the bus by
generating bus resets and corresponding character devices are added
according to 'probe' callbacks from Linux dd core.
In a view of ALSA applications, this looks that plug-out/plug-in occur in
a sequential order for the models when they stop playback/capture substream.
For most applications, this doesn't cause large issue. However, this quirk
is not good for combination of below modules in PulseAudio. PulseAudio
enters endless loop to detect the models and start/stop PCM substream.
- module-udev-detect
- module-alsa-card
- module-suspend-on-idle
In detail, please read my comment no.6:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199365#c6
This commit suppressed udev detection of sound card for the issued models.
For the models, 'PULSE_IGNORE' flag is added to udev rules, then
module-udev-detect don't handle the models and PulseAudio never uses the
models automatically. In a scenario for users to load
module-alsa-card/module-alsa-sink/module-alsa-source by hand, although
these modules can still stop PCM substreams with module-suspend-on-idle,
PulseAudio never enters the endless loop because udev detection doesn't
work for the models. In this case, as long as special files for ALSA
character devices for these models are the same, corresponding sinks and
sources are available even if the voluntary plug-out/plug-in occur.

If a sound card doesn't have the "front" device defined for it, we have
to use the "hw" device for stereo. Not so long ago, the analog-stereo
mapping had "hw:%f" in its device-strings and everything worked great,
except that it caused trouble with the Intel HDMI LPE driver that uses
the first "hw" device for HDMI, and we were incorrectly detecting it as
an analog device. That problem was fixed in commit ea3ebd09, which
removed "hw:%f" from analog-stereo and added a new stereo fallback
mapping for "hw".
Now the problem is that if a sound card doesn't have the "front" device
defined for it, and it supports both mono and stereo, only the mono
mapping is used, because the stereo mapping is only a fallback. This
patch makes the mono mapping a fallback too, so the mono mapping is used
only if there's absolutely nothing else that works.
This can cause trouble at least in theory. Maybe someone actually wants
to use mono output on a card that supports both mono and stereo. But
that seems quite unlikely.
There are only stereo and 5.1 output modes supported natively on this
sound card, but with this config more modes like 2.1, 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0
are now exposed. Also profiles list is cleaner now with all profiles
explicitly specified.
Last thing is removed support for microphone on Linux kernels older than
4.3-rc1, which shouldn't be an issue with future version of PulseAudio
likely be installed on newer kernels anyway.

The iec958 output uses device 2 and the iec958 input uses device 0. The
USB configuration in alsa doesn't set up the device numbers correctly,
which is why we need custom configuration in PulseAudio. Ideally this
would be fixed in alsa, but trying to get help for that wasn't
successful.
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.

This is based on a patch by Rolo <rolo@wildfish.com> that replaced the
old ID with the new one. I deemed it better to leave the old ID in use
(I can't verify if the old ID was correct or not).
The original commit message:
Every time I reinstall or update Ubuntu I have to make this change
to get it to recognise my Native Instruments Traktor Audio 6
external soundcard.
Each time I remember the change by hunting down this forum post in
German,
https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/traktor-audio-6-erkannt-aber-nicht-anwaehlbar/3/#post-8759808
(I don't speak German).
I'm not sure if the ID is just incorrect or if perhaps the hardware
identifies itself differently on slightly different models, so
perhaps we need to duplicate the line - I'm well outside of my
comfort zone here and I know barely anything about how hardware
works on Linux but figured if it helps me it would help others so I
should put it forward.
Thanks!
This reverts commit ca63fbc1d8.
I applied the patch too hastily. force-speaker.conf is supposed to be
used only when the alsa mixer doesn't contain any elements that would
indicate the existence of a speaker port, but the reverted patch is a
workaround for a different problem. On the two affected EeePC machines
the Headphone element needs to be unmuted when using speakers. The
analog-output-speaker-always path happens to do that, but that's
unintentional. analog-output-speaker was changed[1] to mute the
headphone output when using the speaker port, and
analog-output-speaker-always should have been changed too, but that was
forgotten.
The kernel driver is buggy if it has a Headphone mixer element that
mutes both headphones and speakers, so this should be fixed in alsa. If
we end up having a workaround in PulseAudio for the broken driver, it
should be implemented with a new profile set and path configuration
files.

Pulseaudio tries to pick the best profile (on startup or
hotplugged), the best profile is the profile with the highest
priority which isn't unavailable.
Due to the facts that iec958 ports available status always (?)
is unknown, and that it is generally more likely that a user use
hdmi than iec958, lets prioritze hdmi over iec958.
This patch shift the analog-* mappings +5 and hdmi-* mappings +5.
Some sound cards don't have any alsa-lib configuration, but they used to
work well enough up to PulseAudio 10. PulseAudio 11 stopped using "hw:0"
for the analog-stereo mapping, and instead defined it as a fallback
mapping without any mixer handling. As a result, switching between
headphones and speakers stopped working without changing the mixer
settings manually at least on Toshiba Chromebook 2. This patch adds the
mixer handling back to the fallback mapping.
I also renamed "unknown-stereo" to "stereo-fallback", because I like
that name more.

There are two reasons for this change:
1. If it is a Dell desktop machine with the realtek codec, and there
is no internal microphone on it, there is one physical audio jack
which can support headphone, headset and microphone, but this audio
jack does not have hardware capability to distinguish what is plugged
in, after users plug in a headphone and select headphone from UI
program, the headphone can't output any sound. There are many reasons
for this issue, one of them is the active_port of pa_source is set
to headphone-mic, that means the kernel audio driver will configure
this audio jack to be a microphone jack instead of headphone jack.
If we make the priority of headset-mic a bit higher than headphone-mic,
the headset-mic will be the active_port of pa_source unless users
select the headphone-mic on purpose, then this issue will be fixed.
2. Nowadays, the headset is more popular than traditional microphone,
It is highly possible that users plug in a headset instead of
microphone, it makes sense to make the headset-mic's priority higher
than headphone-mic's.

Previously, if front:x didn't work, we would try to use hw:x for analog
stereo output. There's no guarantee that hw:x is an analog output,
however. For example, the Intel HDMI LPE driver uses hw:x for HDMI
output, and PulseAudio incorrectly created analog profiles for that
card, because front:x doesn't work but hw:x does.
This patch changes things so that the analog stereo mapping doesn't any
more use hw:x as a fallback. A separate "unknown stereo" fallback
mapping is added to handle the rare case where hw:x is the only PCM
device that works.

`Mic` is now detected as `Mic-In/Mic Array` (there are 2 microphones physically, nice to se this being understood).
`Line` is now detected as `Line In`.
Removed all output modes except officially supported stereo, 5.1 and stereo S/PDIF.
Also microphone/line in now might be used simultaneously with either output mode, yay!
The combination "Front Headphone" + "Headset Mic Phantom"
was found on one the machines we enable. Without this patch,
the headset mic appeared plugged in when nothing was plugged
into the jack.

The analog-output path should be suppressed when there are more
specific paths available. Currently that usually doesn't happen. The
suppression can be done with the path subset detection, and this patch
makes that work (another approach would be to mark the elements as
required-absent, like analog-input does, but I like the subset
suppression more, because it requires less stuff in the configuration
files). The problem with listing the now-removed elements in
analog-output.conf was that if the sound card had e.g. a Speaker
element, then the switch behaviour was different between analog-output
and analog-output-speakers, so analog-output was not considered a
subset of analog-output-speakers.

In the (theoretical) case that no other elements exists but
"Line HP Swap", the presence of that element signals that there are
headphone and line-out outputs, otherwise there would be nothing to
