Instead of limiting the automatic input-source selection only to the mics (internal, external and dock mics), allow it for generic inputs, e.g. switching between the rear line-in and the front mic.
the problem of addng line in jack to auto mic is line in does not has any boost (gain) but most mic have a boost control
I think it's pretty irrelevant. The auto-mic switches only the I/O direction.
the other problem is those acer aspire 8930g notebook has internal 5.1 speakers and three jacks which can support external 5.1 speakers
it seem the the channel mode control limit the max channels to 2 when there is internal 5.1 speaker
Again it's utterly irrelevant.

when channel mode is 6ch the mic jack is retasked as output and cannot be used
