[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH 0/6] Jack detection patches

[David Henningsson]

So, here's the status of the jack detection patches.

  * The core patches (patch 1-5) and the alsa mixer patches (patch 6) 
are ready for review and will be sent to this list shortly. Please review.

  * The "backend" for jack detection, which uses input devices, has been 
rejected. This is because another way of doing jack detection (through 
ALSA kcontrols) is going to be implemented by Takashi, scheduled for 
kernel 3.3. Therefore Lennart Poettering (and Arun?) does not want to 
see the current implementation being merged at all.

  * However, since I don't want to rebase over and over again, I would 
be happy if the current set of patches are merged ASAP anyway. (And 
until merge, if you avoid radical changes to the affected files, that 
would be appreciated)

  * Because of the above rejection and that I'm currently not at home, 
the current version of the patches have not been tested (more than that 
they compile and doesn't crash when starting up PulseAudio here). Not 
many changes since the version shipped in Ubuntu 11.10, that would be if 
I did something wrong when I reorganised the patch set a little and 
rebased it against current master.

  * A note to Tanuk about the Alsa patch: when I rebased it against 
current sources, I think I broke the paths_dir thing. With the new 
order, I don't think this argument needs to be sent to the sink anymore, 
but to be used in module-alsa-card instead. Can you verify?

  * We're still missing a patch to the core, to expose inactive profiles 
to clients. I'm happy for more opinions about solutions posted in this 
thread:
