Well, until you explain the exact breakage of my proposal, I won't trust this. :)
I've said already: mplayer for example relies on such behavior to work. Reverting it breaks mplayer. This is enough for me to NACK your patch.
What you said, was: --- Some applications like mplayer don't use V4L2_CID_AUDIO_MUTE to unmute a video device. They assume the current behavior that starting video also unmutes audio. --- "starting video also unmutes audio" is what my patch _does not touch_! And that certainly happens not even in the alsa driver, but somewhere in the v4l2 code.
So, please please please, could you actually precisely explain how exactly mplayer breaks with my patch? That's the only thing I need! :))
