You're not really responding to what I'm saying here. What I'm saying is that if this is useful it should be implemented in the core unless there's some reason I'm missing why this is specific to this driver.
Ok, point taken. It's just not really a drop-in equivalent, given that both the numid and the name string will change then.
Well, we could probably arrange something for the name string (and I'd think we'd want to).
I'll see when I'll find some time to do that. Your idea is to have a "Master Playback Switch" for both the CPU and the Codec on each link, if the driver implements either ->mute_stream or ->digital_mute, right? And the control would default to "on"?
Yes, something like that. Providing a way to set the name of the control would be good but it could be done as a stage two. I'm still swithering about applying the patch, it's driver local and won't really interfere with any generic support that comes along.
