My question is: Why ALSA Jack support uses evdev input events to notify user-space? Is there any user-space relying on that? If no, I would like to change ALSA Jack implementation to only use KControl and remove specific implementations.
This was the existing kernel API at the time that the code was added - I beleive people had been doing that for simple switches that detect the physical presence of a jack since it looks exactly like a button from a hardware point of view. See the original commit adding the code.
