Comment(by howl):

 Then could be an issue detecting the possible combinations, in the screen
 shot I attached is possible to select "Output Digital Stereo (IEC958) +
 Input Digital Stereo (IEC958)", when both reference the same optical
 connector, and is impossible to use for input and output at the same time.

 Perhaps could be possible to add to the configuration tab, above the
 profile selection, config for the outputs. For example I had a SB Audigy
 and another SB Live that could use the front jack as digital output but
 only when selecting the switch in gnome-mixer in the alsa device options.
 The last gnome doesn't have mixer for alsa devices, it relies only in
 pulseaudio so is needed to use alsa-mixer from console and there is no way
 to setup using the graphical volume tools.

 Adding configuration options like this in PulseAudio could be possible to
 detect the real available outputs and inputs and filter them? At least
 solves the problem to configure connectors i/o in some cards.

 The optical input output at the same time problem is with the sound card
 included in m3n78-em mother board, NVidia HDA, ALC1200 using hda-intel
 alsa module.
