IIRC, there was no amplifier with mute capability on the pin node, and both pins came from the same dac/mixer node, where that capability existed. The kernel's default behaviour is to use mute amplifiers for mute, but potentially one could add extra mutes that modify the pin control instead (setting the pin to "off" instead of "out hp"), which is individually set per pin. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic
