SRU Justification:

Fixes a blocks-hwcert bug.

Test case:

Take the Optiplex XE machine specified here:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882693

Without this patch:
  - Internal Speaker is not muted when "Line Out" jack is plugged in
With this patch:
  - Internal Speaker is muted when "Line Out" jack is plugged in

Upstream status:
   Acked/reviewed by Takashi Iwai and on its way to 3.0 (and 3.1) stable.

Have you also tried this laptop with Precise to make sure the 
"refactored automute for Realtek" still works ?

_And_ have you tested this patch for regressions on other platforms with 
Realtek codecs ?

No.

...and no.

Could you clarify whether or not this is a requirement for taking the patch?

Anyway, I'm cc:ing Anthony here as I don't have physical access to the 
hardware. Anthony, if you feel it's worth the effort of doing such 
testing to make this machine get certified faster (instead of waiting 
for this patch to come through upstream stable), could you organise such 
testing? There is a dkms package for easy testing in the bug.

The prime objective of the SRU policy is to cause no regression(s). Your 
patch could potentially affect every platform with a Realtek codec that 
has (board_config == ALC880_AUTO). So, yes, I think you should test on 
some other laptops with Realtek codecs.

I'm not as concerned about automute working in Precise, that was merely 
idle curiosity. However, if it doesn't work then you should likely take 
steps now to prevent regressions when folks upgrade from Oneiric to Precise.

Patch

From d494dd1f0689328b2c9a62fa168ff774928becc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: HDA: Fix Realtek automute Line Out -> Internal Speaker

In kernels 3.0 and 3.1, no automute control was created unless
Headphone pins were present. This patch enables automute for the
case where there are just Line Out and Speaker pins.
