I think it would. Also, if we can use the name of a control to > find the jack sensing control for it this would be great.

So far, there is no strict connection between them since the jacks are physical while the volume controls are logical. But, they could correlate a bit more with each other. Another TODO. As posted in another mail, some extra information such as jack location can be stored in the control TLV. So they can be really named as "Headphone Jack". thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
