+HD-Audio Codec-Specific Mixer Controls
+======================================
+
+
+This file explains the codec-specific mixer controls.
+
+Realtek codecs
+--------------
+
+Channel Mode
+  This is an enum control to change the surround-channel setup,
+  appears only when the surround channels are available.
+  It gives the number of channels to be used, "2ch", "4ch", "6ch",
+  and "8ch".  According to the configuration, this also controls the
+  jack-retasking of multi-I/O jacks.
+
+Auto-Mute Mode
+  This is an enum control to change the auto-mute behavior of the
+  headphone and line-out jacks.  If built-in speakers and headphone
+  and/or line-out jacks are available on a machine, this controls
+  appears.
+  When there are only either headphones or line-out jacks, it gives
+  "Disabled" and "Enabled" state.  When enabled, the speaker is muted
+  automatically when a jack is plugged.
+
+  When both headphone and line-out jacks are present, it gives
+  "Disabled", "Speaker Only" and "Line-Out+Speaker".  When
+  speaker-only is chosen, plugging into a headphone or a line-out jack
+  mutes the speakers, but not line-outs.  When line-out+speaker is
+  selected, plugging to a headphone jack mutes both speakers and
+  line-outs.
+
+
+IDT/Sigmatel codecs
+-------------------
+
+Analog Loopback
+  This control enables/disables the analog-loopback circuit.  This
+  appears only when "loopback" is set to true in a codec hint
+  (see HD-Audio.txt).  Note that on some codecs the analog-loopback
+  and the normal PCM playback are exclusive, i.e. when this is on, you
+  won't hear any PCM stream.
+
+Swap Center/LFE
+  Swaps the center and LFE channel order.  Normally, the left
+  corresponds to the center and the right to the LFE.  When this is
+  ON, the left to the LFE and the right to the center.
+
+Headphone as Line Out
+  When this control is ON, treat the headphone jacks as line-out
+  jacks.  That is, the headphone won't auto-mute the other line-outs,
+  and no HP-amp is set to the pins.
+
+Mic Jack Mode, Line Jack Mode, etc
+  These enum controls the direction and the bias of the input jack
+  pins.  Depending on the jack type, it can set as "Mic In" and "Line 
+  In", for determining the input bias, or it can be set to "Line Out"
+  when the pin is a multi-I/O jack for surround channels.
+
+
+VIA codecs
+----------
+
+Smart 5.1
+  An enum control to re-task the multi-I/O jacks for surround outputs.
+  When it's ON, the corresponding input jacks (usually a line-in and a
+  mic-in) are switched as the surround and the CLFE output jacks.
+
+Independent HP
+  When this enum control is enabled, the headphone output is routed
+  from an individual stream (the third PCM such as hw:0,2) instead of
+  the primary stream.  In the case the headphone DAC is shared with a
+  side or a CLFE-channel DAC, the DAC is switched to the headphone
+  automatically.
+
+Loopback Mixing
+  An enum control to determine whether the analog-loopback route is
+  enabled or not.  When it's enabled, the analog-loopback is mixed to
+  the front-channel.  Also, the same route is used for the headphone
+  and speaker outputs.  As a side-effect, when this mode is set, the
+  individual volume controls will be no longer available for
+  headphones and speakers because there is only one DAC connected to a
+  mixer widget.
+
+Dynamic Power-Control
+  This control determines whether the dynamic power-control per jack
+  detection is enabled or not.  When enabled, the widgets power state
+  (D0/D3) are changed dynamically depending on the jack plugging
+  state for saving power consumptions.  However, if your system
+  doesn't provide a proper jack-detection, this won't work; in such a
+  case, turn this control OFF.
+
+Jack Detect
+  This control is provided only for VT1708 codec which gives no proper
+  unsolicited event per jack plug.  When this is on, the driver polls
+  the jack detection so that the headphone auto-mute can work, while 
+  turning this off would reduce the power consumption.
+
+
+Conexant codecs
+---------------
+
+Auto-Mute Mode
+  See Realtek codecs.
+
+
+Analog codecs
+--------------
+
+Channel Mode
+  This is an enum control to change the surround-channel setup,
+  appears only when the surround channels are available.
+  It gives the number of channels to be used, "2ch", "4ch" and "6ch".
+  According to the configuration, this also controls the
+  jack-retasking of multi-I/O jacks.
+
+Independent HP
+  When this enum control is enabled, the headphone output is routed
+  from an individual stream (the third PCM such as hw:0,2) instead of
+  the primary stream.
