FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint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
Done automatically by sed-ing through sources.
Some HD-audio codecs (at least ALC269VB and ALC283) become quite noisy on
high Mic Boost levels. So e g, if there is a "Mic Boost" and a "Capture"
control, both ranging from 0 dB to +30 dB, you get better quality if
"Mic Boost" is 0 dB and "Capture" is +30 dB, than the other way around.
By changing the order in the configuration files, this patch makes us prefer
leaving "Mic Boost" low and "Capture" high if the user selects a medium gain.
(This is based on limited experience, and there is no guarantee that there are
no sound cards that work the other way around, and therefore this patch could
potentially regress quality on those machines. Hopefully those are fewer, so
this is what we should default to.)

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).
It's fairly uncommon, but it happens that jack detection is enabled
for some reason, e g hardware design. In that case, we cannot use
jack detection, but we can still use the hint to pick up that there
is a path.

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.

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.

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.

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