Thanks for the small test scripts! It's good to be on the same page. 
Hopefully I get around some day to write a "make tests", but not right 
now unfortunately.

I quickly ran test2 and noticed that
  - We have quite a lot of work to do before all errors are fixed!
  - The error I got from hda-emu for the codec above, 'Control element 
Line Jack:0 already exists!' was already present for one of the codecs.
