I have given a try to your patch, although it does not work out of the box, 
but I can verify that you are indeed right.
I have been also wondering about these mixer/mux controls for the outputs and 
the block diagrams in the TRM has MIX in these outputs, but in other places it 
hints that they are a mixture of mux and mixers.

PS 01: you have been missing this part from your patch, which is needed for 
DAPM to power on the path:
        /* outputs */
        {"OUTL", NULL, "ARXL2_APGA"},
        {"OUTR", NULL, "ARXR2_APGA"},
-       {"EARPIECE", NULL, "Earpiece Mux"},
-       {"PREDRIVEL", NULL, "PredriveL Mux"},
-       {"PREDRIVER", NULL, "PredriveR Mux"},
-       {"HSOL", NULL, "HeadsetL Mux"},
-       {"HSOR", NULL, "HeadsetR Mux"},
-       {"CARKITL", NULL, "CarkitL Mux"},
-       {"CARKITR", NULL, "CarkitR Mux"},
+       {"EARPIECE", NULL, "Earpiece Mixer"},
+       {"PREDRIVEL", NULL, "PredriveL Mixer"},
+       {"PREDRIVER", NULL, "PredriveR Mixer"},
+       {"HSOL", NULL, "HeadsetL Mixer"},
+       {"HSOR", NULL, "HeadsetR Mixer"},
+       {"CARKITL", NULL, "CarkitL Mixer"},
+       {"CARKITR", NULL, "CarkitR Mixer"},
        {"HFL", NULL, "HandsfreeL Mux"},
        {"HFR", NULL, "HandsfreeR Mux"},

If you add this to your patch, I'll be happy to ack it.

PS 02: I have hard time to get 'git am' to apply the patch:
git am ../[PATCH\]\ ASoC\:\ twl4030\ -\ Add\ VDL\ path\ support.mbox
fatal: cannot convert from ks_c_5601-1987 to utf-8

Does anyone know how to handle this?
