[alsa-devel] HDMI+SND_JACK_AVOUT

[Pierre-Louis Bossart]

Hi,
Does anyone know the reason why the Intel/HDaudio HDMI layers use 
SND_JACK_AVOUT as a jack type? This value is composite and ends up 
having the side effect of sending 2 independent input events to 
userspace (SW_LINEOUT_INSERT and SW_VIDEOOUT_INSERT) and confusing the 
Android logic which deals with wired accessories. Shouldn't we use just 
SND_JACK_VIDEOOUT instead? What is the reason or rationale behind the 
use of LINEOUT for HDMI/DP jack events?
Thanks
-Pierre
