These events can be generated by anything - prior to my implementing the ALSA support for this all the implementations in mainline were doing this via the gpio-keys driver since they were detecting a microswitch in the jack. I'd expect that non-audio jacks may also end up reporting via the same interface (video for example), but I'm not sure if Pulse would be interested in anything non-ALSA. _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
