For line outputs I think providing that information in the device name would be better - the reason for providing the distinction in the switch is to provide information when the function of the device attached to the jack changes at runtime. As far as the hardware is concerned one line output is much the same as another.

Do you mean something like this?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that change. What the code says is that you have a single jack and can detect at runtime if the device plugged into it is a line or headphone. If that is the case then yes, you should do something like that though that's not a very good name for the jack (ideally it should correspond to something like the label given to the jack on the machine case).
Of course this will require some changesin snd_jack_report.
Could you explain what changes you think are required? The API already supports multi-function jacks.
