Analog/Digital Output Jack [Off]

Analog/Digital Output Jack [Off]

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Analog/Digital Output Jack [Off] ??

What does [On/Off] mean here?

I think it would be better if we changed this control from an on/off 
switch to an enum. So, instead of the two options being:
1) Analog/Digital Output Jack
2) Analog/Digital Output Jack [Off]

the options would be:
1) Analog
2) Digital

It would use a method similar to the current "Mic Select" and "Mono 
Output Select"

I think this would make things clearer for the user.

I will make this change to my AudigyLS driver, but it would make sense 
to make the same change to all sound cards that implement the 
"Analog/Digital Output Jack". e.g. SB Live, SB Audigy, emu10k1x etc.

Comments ?

James

It's ok for me to change it as enum, although a boolean switch is
easier to handle for mixer apps...

Or, better to rename it to more reasonable one?
