Following the advice of Paul Menzel I did a "diff" of the sources of the
2.6.32.9 kernel and of the 2.6.33. In patch_realtek.c, we see that there
is an new snd_hda_jack_detect funtion with 2 arguments. I have noticed
that the second argument is "normaly" the second argument of
snd_hda_codec_read. In the alc269_speaker_automute function there is
this new snd_hda_jack_detect function, but the second argument is "nid".
But in the old alc269_speaker_automute of the 2.6.32.9 the second
argument of snd_hda_codec_read is 0x15. So I think there is perhaps a
bug here...But I hesitate to modify the source...so I'm waiting the
anwser of the dev.
