[alsa-devel] HDMI+SND_JACK_AVOUT

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
