[Bug 1882248] Re: [SRU] plug headset won't proper reconfig ouput to it on machine with default output

[Yuan-Chen Cheng]

on a bionic machine that's fully upgraded (proposed channel is off)
The pulseaudio is still the previous version as [1].
I manually run the test, also get the same failure.

The steps to run it is:
1. apt-get install ffmpeg # 7:3.4.8-0ubuntu0.2
2. apt-get source ffmpeg ; cd ffmpeg-3.4.8/debian/tests
3. mkdir tmp ; export ADTTMP=`pwd`/tmp
4. ./encdec

It also have 1 failure:

  failures: 1
  avi;v=zmbv; streamcopy return code: 1

Given above result, I believe ffmpeg have a failed test case in the first place,
and it's not caused by this SRU.

  [SRU] plug headset won't proper reconfig ouput to it on machine with
  default output

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  This is for pulseaudio bionic:

  [Impact]
  On a Dell machine without internal spk and internal mic, after freshly
  install the bionic on it, the active profile is Off, after users plug a
  headset to it and users select the headset from the pop-up dialogue,
  users expect the profile changes to analog-stereo (headset is on it),
  but the active_profile is still Off.

  [Fix]
  Upstream already has a patch to fix it, cherrypiack that patch to bionic.
  And that patch is already in the eoan, focal, ...

  [Test Case]
  freshly install the bionic with this patch on that dell machine,
  plug headset and select the headset from UI, the profile changes to
  analog-stereo, and play some sound, we could hear it from the headset

  [Regression Risk]
  Low, this patch is already in the upstream for a long time, and it is
  already in the eoan and focal.


  
  For linux kernel (oem-b):

  [Impact]
  On a Dell machine without internal spk and internal mic, after freshly
  install the bionic on it, and users plug a headset, the sound couldn't
  output from headset.

  [Fix]
  reverse the order of headset mic and headphone mic

  [Test Case]
  freshly install the bionic with this patch on that dell machine,
  plug headset and play sound, we could hear the sound from headset.

  [Regression Risk]
  Low, this patch only affects the machine without internal mic and
  internal spk, and I already tested this patch on the machine without
  internal mic and internal spk, it worked well.

  target machine does not have built-in speaker, and the monitor does
  not have an audio output (like d-sub VGA)

  As first boot, there will be a "dummy output" in g-c-c.

  After plug-in headset, there will be a headset appear in g-c-c, but it
  won't be automatically selected even it's chosen in the pop-up window.
