Hi,

I've managed to complete the jack detection stuff in PulseAudio today, 
which completes the jack detection effort for this cycle. So from 
tomorrow on I hope to be able to spend the rest of this cycle fixing 
bugs, somewhat a little too late to be optimal though. The last piece 
was HDMI support.

With the help of Leann (applied distro kernel patch for HDMI input 
device matching, and then released a new kernel) and Luke (updated 
Pulseaudio to 0.99.3) I think we're all set. Thanks to both of you!

This I hope will eradicate the class of bugs that's been hunting (at 
least) me for the past cycle - the ones with four HDMI codecs and we 
don't know which one is the right.

Note however, that the UI changes did not make it in for Oneiric. This 
means that four HDMI devices might still show up in gnome-volume-control 
and pavucontrol. What's suppose to happen is that when the HDMI output 
is activated (for NVidia, this is when you click apply in 
nvidia-settings), the HDMI output automatically switches to the one 
that's the right one.

The PulseAudio patches in lp:~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.oneiric 
- upload at will. Once it's out, I'm probably going to write to a few 
more people/teams to inform and maybe to get wider testing.

Btw, another note about this new set of patches is that I've removed 
module-switch-on-connect and replaced it with a new 
module-switch-on-port-available, that just changes ports and profiles 
without messing with the default sink and/or source. There are some 
non-trivial problems with module-switch-on-connect, but that's something 
to talk about another day.
