Hi all,
We are a non profit. We use debian/gnome for a dedicated distance
learning tool.
We have about 600 units installed. Have a look on our website, it's
actually pretty cool what we do :)
The learning tool is basically a customized video conferencing app.
We heavily rely on Pulse audio to configure audio devices . In our
current setup we get quite some support related to configurations of
audio devices that use a combined mini-jack for microphone and
headphone. Especially new laptops nowadays have one combined port
instead of two separate.
What we have found is we can configure pulse audio to automatically
select newly connected devices, which works great. However, pulse audio
jack-detect cannot determine if the newly connected device is a
microphone, headphone or combined device. So if a user for example wants
to use external speakers and the built in microphone, the moment the
speakers are connected, pulseaudio will reconfigure speaker and
microphone. Which is wrong ...
Canonical has built a tool which will prompt the user the to select
which device he/she connected. Have a look here:

We have a developer that can port this to gnome . For us this would mean
decreased support request, and improved user experience.
Would the gnome project be interested in this development? Can we push
our changes upstream? Do we need to coordinate efforts?
Regards
Bart
