[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] alsa-ucm: Make combination ports have lower priority

Usually, you want to use one input or output at a time: e g,
you expect your speaker to mute when you plug in headphones.

Therefore, the headphones+speaker port should have lower priority
and both headphones and speaker.

A practical formula to do this is 1/x = 1/xa + 1/xb + .. + 1/xn.
