no problem :)

more than a verb its a device, we are under the assumption that jack
insertion corresponds to a headset then we will use the UCM to set the
headset device that means the associated asound controls will be
enabled.

Well the UCM code corresponding on what to do when jack is plug or
unplug  its part of module-alsa-card but we had to add first the logic
in PA to detect the jack insertation/removel  that it is basically a
listener of /dev/input/eventX, that is used by the kernel to report
the event. All the logic for jack detection has been added in a new
module.

I'll wait your feedback/questions related to UCM integration :)

Thanks,
Margarita
