Anyway, it's done through a udev rule, and what you're looking for is this: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.precise/view/head:/debian/patches/0612-Add-port-information-to-HDMI-profiles.patch It's currently a part of the jack detection stuff, and on my TODO list is to upstream the kcontrol implementation first (I guess it's time as this is now coming in Linux 3.3) and then this patch. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. http://launchpad.net/~diwic
