Comment(by howl):

 Autoconfiguration is needed to make things easier but manual config is
 sometimes needed, for example there is no way to automatically know if a
 user is using digital device or analog speakers connected in the front
 jack of some sbs. In this case is needed to let the user the option to set
 what is using. Certainly in some distros set on the digital output alsa
 switch and other ones set it to off but is impossible to set it to a value
 that works for all.

 Perhaps the only way to do this is having a audio devices db, where for
 example if a sb with digital/analog switch enables and disables possible
 audio outputs. I repeat that I don't know how is programmed ALSA API or
 PulseAudio.
