I'm repeating it below:
"The protocol skew in Ubuntu 11.10 was actually a mistake on my part.
Since the UI changes that would depend on this information being
available was backed out, I probably should have backed the actual
protocol change out as well.
Anyway, here is the patch that forms one of the base features for jack
detection, and brings upstream out of protocol skew with Ubuntu 11.10."
I honestly did not understand the explanation, most likely because I use
Fedora for historical reasons and have no idea about the content of Ubuntu
11.10...What type of client will make use of this information?
My use case is volume control UIs (pavucontrol, gnome volume control,
etc) - they can use the information to hide three of the four HDMI
ports, keeping only the right one. Or hide headphones when they are not
plugged in.
But in Ubuntu 11.10 no client actually uses this information, which is
why the protocol skew was a mistake.
