Ahhh. Understood.

I'm guessing I should change the above -c0's to -c1's. Here is that output:

numid=44,iface=CARD,name='CD Phantom Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=on
numid=49,iface=CARD,name='Front Headphone Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off
numid=42,iface=CARD,name='Front Mic Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off
numid=43,iface=CARD,name='Line Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off
numid=47,iface=CARD,name='Line Out CLFE Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off
numid=45,iface=CARD,name='Line Out Front Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off
numid=48,iface=CARD,name='Line Out Side Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off
numid=46,iface=CARD,name='Line Out Surround Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off
numid=41,iface=CARD,name='Rear Mic Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off
numid=50,iface=CARD,name='SPDIF Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off

Okay.

Thanks for all your help!
