"Desktop Speaker"?
AFAICR, I've never seen "Desktop Speaker". I think we can synchronise
the behavior so that it is the same on "analog-output" and
"analog-output-speaker".
My patch is made with the assumption that analog-output should be
suppressed always when there there are more specific paths available,
with the exception of analog-output-mono (the patch removes also the
"Master Mono" element from analog-output, but as I said earlier, that
was a mistake). Based on this discussion, it seems that you either
disagree with that basic assumption, or weren't properly aware of that
assumption. If you think that the assumption is bad, I'd like you to
give an example where that assumption causes breakage.
The question is if there ever can be the combination of e g
analog-output-headphones and analog-output, when analog-output is
controlling something we did not foresee, but still might be useful to
control.
But since I was unable to come up with a good example, feel free to go
ahead and remove the two headphone elements and sync Desktop Speaker
with analog-output-speaker.
Sorry for a late reply, but I didn't notice the last point that you made
until now. Why should I sync analog-output's Desktop Speaker with
analog-output-speaker, as opposed to removing Desktop Speaker from
analog-output? If the Desktop Speaker element exists, then the
analog-output-desktop-speaker port will be created, and since that's
more specific than analog-output, analog-output should be suppressed.
Therefore, there's no reason for analog-output to care about Desktop
Speaker.
Ok, now I had a look in the kernel. The "Desktop Speaker" name is only
used in USB drivers. It seems very unlikely that such a USB device would
have both "Desktop Speaker" and "Speaker", so then I suggest that we
remove the desktop-speaker path, mark "Desktop Speaker" as required-any
for the speaker path, and remove it from the analog-output path. Does
that make sense?
