Hi, I have some hardware that needs some mixer configuration when selecting the "off" profile for the alsa card in order to save power. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why the driver can't turn off the power when nobody's using the device... I'll have to ask from the driver developer. Anyway, if we assume that there's a valid reason for keeping the device powered whenever the mixer element isn't in the "Off" position, how should we handle this in Pulseaudio? My suggestion is to add an "off path" to profile sets. That is, the profile set configuration file would have an option in the [General] section called "off-path", which would have a path name as its value. Whenever the "off" profile is activated, the "off path" is activated too. Does that sound ok? -- Tanu
