alsa-card: add dynamic priority bonus base for alsa profiles
After applying the commit
0d50e787 ("alsa-card: improve the profile
availability logic"), we met an new issue. when system selects the
initial profile, the profile off is selected instead of a profile with
a valid output device on it. That is the issue we met:
Profiles:
HiFi: Default (sinks: 2, sources: 2, priority: 8000, available: no)
off: Off (sinks: 0, sources: 0, priority: 0, available: yes)
Active Profile: off
Ports:
[Out] Headphones: Headphones (priority: 300, latency offset: 0 usec, not available)
Part of profile(s): HiFi
[Out] Speaker: Speaker (priority: 100, latency offset: 0 usec)
Part of profile(s): HiFi
...
I know the commit
0d50e787 really fixed something, but we still need
to fix the new issue, to do so, this patch introduces a priority bonus
for alsa profiles and separate the alsa profiles to 3 groups:
group a (will be granted priority bonus dynamically):
a profile has only output ports and at least one port is not unavailable
a profile has only input ports and at least one port is not unavailable
a profile has both input and output ports, and at least one output and
one input ports are not unavailable
group b (will be marked unavailable)
a profile has only output ports and all ports are unavailable
a profile has only input ports and all ports are unavailable
a profile has both output and input ports, and all ports are unavailable
group c
the rest profiles, their priority and availability is not changed.
With this change, the profile HiFi will become avaialbe:yes, and will
not be granted priority bonus if no input port is plugged.
The priority bonus provides a higher priority base to profiles, this
guarantees this patch doesn't break the fix of
0d50e787.
