That's just it -- there's something going on here that I don't 
understand -- The mute swiches are defined as:

HDA_CODEC_MUTE("Speaker Playback Switch", 0x14, 0x0, HDA_OUTPUT),
HDA_CODEC_MUTE("Headphone Playback Switch", 0x21, 0x0, HDA_OUTPUT),

If manually toggle these pins using hda-analyzer, only that specifc 
output is disabled/enabled.  But if I use alsamixer to toggle these 
switches, both outputs are disabled/enabled.  I don't know enough about 
the bowels of the ALSA codebase to even theorize why this could be 
happening (though I am using the v1.0.22 userspace stuff against a 
1.0.23 kernel stack -- or maybe pulseaudio is mucking with something?)

I've never specified a model=xxxx argument.  Leaving model=xxxx off 
should be the same thing as model=auto, right?
(and by latest do you mean git head?)

In any case, the 'take3' patch is such an improvement over the former 
state of affairs that in my opinion it should be applied -- we can 
always apply another patch once the mute wonkiness is figued out.

Thanks!
