OK, but now the patch assumes that it's a mutable output, so the auto-mute shall happen.

Actually other OSes seem to mute the line-out as well, so we may follow the standard scenario.

OK, so I guess the bit in the distribution that saves and restores mixer settings at shutdown/startup needs updating to take this new mixer into account? as the speaker mixer is always muted at startup now.

Right, it's the user-space stuff. The recent alsactl should do it right (adjust to the certain level for new control elements), I thought.

Anyway, I'm inclined to revert the change once after figuring out what caused the issue on Emmanuel's machine.

thanks,
