I'd like to hear rather comments from others.
1) The problem of core jack api which is tailor made for embedded device, it assume there is only one sound card
when the desktop computer have more than one sound cards which have jack detect there is no mapping to which sound card has the events.
How to differentiate . noboard hdmi port and graphic card's hdmi ?
2) if the objective of adding jack detection is for trapping plug/unplug event to trigger the reconfiguration of audio server
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/89781/focus=89788
does the audio server require to know the initial state of the hdmi or just need the trigger event ?
3) There are laptops (e.g. alienware) which have two HP jacks and Mic jack which need jack retasking for support surround5.1 since the name of volume controls cannot be rename , the only way is to perform a hda-reconfig or early patching
can those input device be deleted during the hda-reconfig ?
