This might be too shortsighted and broken -- if multiple devices are
hook on the same port...

Now I wonder which graphics part actually corresponds to the HD-audio
widget.  So far, we supposed that each pin widget 0x05-0x07
corresponds to the digital port B-D in the fixed manner.  If so, how
is the case where two devices on the same port?  In the codec level,
we get an unsolicited event on the same pin but check with the
different device index.  What would be a unique index instead that can
be passed via the component ops?

Then, another question is which audio converter widget is used and how
is set up, if multiple devices were on the same pin.

Libin, do you have any git branch where MST really works?  I should
test it at first to confirm that it actually works on my test system.


thanks,

Takashi
