I think that it should be an on/off switch, but there seems to be no way to actually switch it on and off in amixer or alsamixer. Other entries are like Simple mixer control 'Mic Boost (+20dB)',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [off] which is fine. So, what are these controls like "Mic Select" for, and how does one get them to work in alsamixer.
