--- Comment #2 from Arun Raghavan <arun at accosted.net> 2012-01-12 11:23:36 PST ---
Thanks for taking the time to report this problem. Summarising from our
conversation on IRC:

This bug is similar to the one fixed by David (who I'm adding to CC) in
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=838672974ec35c9e9eea4f67a2e7206f5cf87c22
-- the difference being that the control is "IEC958" and not "IEC958 Optical
Raw".

In general, I'd like to commit a patch that disables the IEC958 control for
analog output. On my laptop, for example, that element stays on all the time,
when it really need not be in analog mode. What do people think of a patch that
looks like this:

--- a/src/modules/alsa/mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common
+++ b/src/modules/alsa/mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common
