Comment:

 Colin is right: the whole point of prfile selection is that selecting
 something for input has effects on what you can select for output. To make
 things more transparent I thus made this into a single list so that it is
 obvious which combinations are available.

 As Colin pointed out a lot of hw reuses jacks or even ADC/DACs for input
 and output, limiting how you can combine input and output. Also on
 Bluetooth HSP (i.e. low-quality phone audio) is full duplex while A2DP
 (.i.e. high-quality audio) is simplex only. Switching between the too is
 also implemented via profiles.

 So the whole point of prfiles is to make clear that not all combinations
 are possible on a big part of the cards.
