OK, so my accusation to the automute code is
that it gets disabled unconditionally, no matter
have the scan failed or succeeded. Also, since
that scan is done on driver init, the automute
state stands no chance to survive: it is getting
disabled unconditionally, on the driver init.
Do we agree that this is a bug?
Do we agree that fixing it will also fix the PA problem,
or, at the very least, will advance us a lot in getting
it fixed?
If so, can you take a look into fixing that code?
It seems the automute code is rather fragile right
now, I'd better not touch it if you have some time
to take a look.
