This is awesome! I'm really glad this is in. It's not really working great on my machine where I do not actually have separate kcontrols for my headphones (I think I've discussed my h/w in the past and how I'd like to have two ports created in this case - not just the one). I'm in a bit of a quandary tho'. Both my speakers and my mic behave pretty much the same here... and by the same, I mean the complete opposite :p So I have built in speakers, but not built in mic. So my input is actually completely useless until I plug in an external mic. Obviously my speakers work fine when I don't have headphones plugged in. But really in terms of kcontrols they look pretty much the same as each other! So how should it work here? Obviously for the output, what *should* happen is that a "Speakers" port is synthesised and used by default rather than the current "Headphones" one. But for the mic... should it just stay as it is? Or should there be a synthesised "Off" port? Seems a little bit rubbish really :s Ideally, when I plug in e.g. a USB camera with a built in Mic, it should be the only source available on my system. Hmm, yeah. I don't really know how to handle the mic side of things :s Awesome work tho'. I'll try and prep a patch for the synthesised speakers in my case.... I guess it'll be kinda hard to detect my kind of laptop vs. e.g. a PCI sound card that basically operates it's output much like my mic works...
