Hmm, are you really sure that this is exclusive switch between two?
All Realtek codecs with this mixer widget mixes two sources up.
Otherwise it must not be a "mixer" widget at all but it must be a
"selector" widget.

And I haven't received a bug report regarding this although ALC892 is
no new chip and the auto-parser has been enabled for so long time.
