So, I went through those of my patches that were in upstream but not in 
quantal, and came up with the following list which I would like to see 
in quantal as well. See Patch justification below for an overview of 
what the patches do.

commit 950a693f086ec15a4debb67e76729abba4be1843
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

     ALSA: HDA: Create phantom jacks for fixed inputs and outputs

  - The long-term fix for bug 946232. Since that bug affects a lot of 
machines, I would really like to have it working in 12.10 / 12.04.2.



commit 134be8603f9c83246005a5c42ee136463cde18d4
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>
     ALSA: hda - Don't send invalid volume knob command on IDT 92hd75bxx

  - This one is more janitorial, not strictly necessary. Likely the 
codec ignores invalid verbs sent to it. But removes an error from the 
test suite.



commit cec383070717a3297ec39decb7e1217358feccac
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

     ALSA: hda - Always call standard unsolicited event for Realtek codecs

commit 41a67001b500589999f2f759beaafd1207bd496c
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

     ALSA: hda - Fix pop noise in headphones on S3 for Asus X55A, X55V

commit 1d8c12a353b0bc4fe5a8d9d709037e503639447d
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

     ALSA: hda - Do not set GPIOs for speakers on IDT if there are no 
speakers

commit 8d0789af1977f5886c7e6131a0b7099174c7fd22
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

     ALSA: hda - give 3-pin jack the name "Headphone Mic Jack"

commit 4b2fbb48291a190314f9872ac7359979e134e29d
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

     ALSA: HDA: Support single 3-pin jack without VREF on the actual pin

  - All of the above are hardware enablement fixes, necessary if we want 
to certify certain hardware in 12.10 / 12.04.2.



commit 24a5ab3458d1884f7d7e563367c16c74d45b189f
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

     ALSA: hda - don't create dysfunctional mixer controls for ca0132

commit 573100f22d49c82f7896e3694f96ff374eaf332b
Author: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

     ALSA: hda - Add inverted mic quirks for Asus U41SV, Acer 1810TZ and 
AOD260

  - These two are distro bugfixes.

David - all of these patches look like good bug fixes. Why not submit
them via stable? But first, you ought to actually build them first.

One of them are indeed submitted to stable as well, but you never know 
how long that takes, and so I figured it would be good to get them in 
before quantal starts going into different kinds of freezes.
For the others - they are either not strictly regressions (e g the 
phantom jack patch), or slightly too big (e g "Support single 3-pin jack 
without VREF"), and for a few, well, maybe they should have been sent to 
stable.

Sorry, fixed now by adding a patch that the affected patch depends on. 
New tree pushed.

Its not strictly required that a stable patch fix a regression. I'm
certain that the stable maintainers are quite happy to take patches that
fix bugs as well, which all of these patches appear to do.
