    ALSA: hda - More generic auto-mic switching for Realtek codecs · ab16c6dd
    Takashi Iwai authored
    This patch extends the capability of the auto-mic feature.
    Instead of limiting the automatic input-source selection only to the
    mics (internal, external and dock mics), allow it for generic inputs,
    e.g. switching between the rear line-in and the front mic.
    
    The logic is to check the attribute and location of input pins, and
    enable the automatic selection feature only if all such pins are in
    different locations (e.g. internal, front, rear, etc) and line-in or
    mic pins.  That is, if multiple input pins are assigned to a single
    location, the feature isn't enabled because we don't know the
    priority.
    
    (You may wonder why this restriction doesn't exist for the headphone
     automute.  The reason is that the output case is different from the
     input: the input source is an exclusive selection while the output
     can be multiplexed.)
    
    Note that, for avoiding regressions, the line-in auto switching
    feature isn't activated as default.  It has to be set explicitly via
    spec->line_in_auto_switch flag in a fixup code.
