Now that the kctl jacks are there I'm getting people asking me about it often enough so I'd like to see it merged.
Yeah, if things were easy, I'd be happy to merge. But, judging from the situation, I see no big reason to hurry too much.
I'm not sure what problems you see here - all the issues that are being discussed here are about the kctl interface to applications, there's no issues I can see with the in-kernel interfaces.
Yes. My concern is then how to map the existing jack API to the new name. Thus I proposed some examples.
But this is an issue solely concerned with the userspace API and is also going to result in something different to what HDA is doing currently. I don't see that we need to wait for everyone to make up your mind what's going on there in order to deal with the custom userspace interface that HDA has.
Once we've got everything unified then we can refactor in place as we please and whatever is done will cover all drivers, including any updates to the core interface required to advertise the new information.
