ALSA: HDA VIA: Add smart5.1 function.

Smart 5.1 is for 3-jacks model, to reuse input pins as outputs. While off, they act as "line out" / "line in" / "mic in". While on, they acts as "line out" / "back left/right" / "center/lfe".

There are several bug report related to Smart 5.1 switch and motherboard with 6 audio jacks at rear panel

Should the driver deactivate or remove "Smart 5.1" switch for the motherboard which does not need reuse input pins as outputs (e.g. motherboard with 5 or 6 audio jacks at rear panel) ?

Yeah, this sounds reasonable. Care to create a patch?

thanks,
