[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH v2 0/6] ucm: Add support for "JackHWMute"

[Tanu Kaskinen]

Here's v2 for supporting UCM's JackHWMute. What used to be only one
patch is now six patches, to make the review experience even more
pleasant. There are several changes beyond just splitting the
patch into smaller pieces:

 - Instead of creating one jack object per UCM device name, there's
   now one jack object per kcontrol. The reason for this is that I
   gained motivation to refactor the jack handling in the traditional
   mixer code too, and I plan to unify both code bases to use the one
   jack per kcontrol model, which I think is the most conceptually
   clear approach (creating one jack object per physical jack would be
   even better, but Linux doesn't provide the necessary information to
   implement that).

 - Removed input and output jack separation. UCM doesn't support
   specifying separate jacks, and pretending otherwise made working
   with the code more difficult than necessary.

 - JackHWMute can actually contain more than one device (use-case.h
   documentation patch has been sent to alsa-devel). The code was
   updated to reflect this.

 - UCM ports are now initialized with unknown availability to match
   the traditional mixer code. This revealed a couple of bugs, which
   are now fixed:

    - When the jack state was changed, the order of updating ordinary
      and hw-mute devices' port availability was "wrong":
      module-switch-on-port-available didn't like the original order.
      Doing the updates in a different order made
      module-switch-on-port-available happy. (There's a wall of text
      comment in the code to explain the details.)

    - In v1, I did not take pa_alsa_jack.has_control into account when
      updating port availability. That didn't seem to have much effect
      when ports were initialized with "yes" availability, but with
      "unknown" this bug became visible. Now has_control is always
      considered when updating the port availability.

 - Added pa_alsa_jack_new() and pa_alsa_jack_free(). That's a minor
   refactoring that I felt was useful.

Tanu Kaskinen (6):
  alsa: Add pa_alsa_jack_new() and pa_alsa_jack_free()
  ucm: Don't create separate input and output jacks
  alsa: Add associations between jacks, UCM devices and UCM ports
  alsa: Move UCM port availability updating to the mixer code
  ucm: Create only one jack object per kcontrol
  ucm: Add support for "JackHWMute"
