OK, that's exactly the case I was describing before: it's a jack with independant line and headphone functions that is able to distinguish between the two. The switching isn't particularly relevant to the function of the jack here, it's a natural feature of the jack API - if the hardware could also determine if a microphone were connected to the jack and be configured appropriately then it could also report that. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
