Does it require a patch or some work? It is possible of course, but hasn't been implemented (yet). > Also, jack support for UCM seems to have a bug.

David was looking into hooking up jack detection with UCM, so might have some more useful information for you. > Any comments on that as well? > > OBS: I'm using PA 3.0. You'd also mentioned the problem with modem PCMs on IRC. I think we really don't have much choice here but to go with the PA_SINK_ALWAYS_RUNNING flag that I'd posted earlier, coupled with adding a field in the UCM to signal that this needs to be set. Yes, we would ideally like for these paths to be set up in the kernel, but pragmatically, that seems to be quite unlikely to happen on the Android kernels (at least it hasn't in the last year and a half). -- Arun
