Which machines?  I know of OLPC, but we haven't implemented it for
others, no?

Possible.

BTW, on the second thought, I think it's better not to expose the
mute-LED control blindly for Conexant.  At least, some machines are
known to be using EAPD really as EAPD.  And some, at least HP
machines, are known to use EAPD only as the mute LED control.

So, I added a flag to the function not to expose the mute-LED at
creation time.  The additional patch is below.


thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda - Add expose_enum_ctl flag to snd_hda_add_vmaster_hook()

Since it's not always safe to assume that the vmaster hook is purely the
mute-LED control, add the flag indicating whether to expose the mute-LED
enum control or not.  Currently, conexant codec sets this off for non-HP
laptops where EAPD may be used really as EAPD.
