Thank you for reply. You are right -- changing the name
unconditionally was not well thought out, and I agree that reverting the
long-standing behavior is not acceptable.
Would it be acceptable if I add a flag to hda_gen_spec (e.g.
use_input_source) that decides whether to use "Input Source" for the
capture source selector? A codec driver could set it when needed, while
the default behavior stays unchanged.
Thanks,
Bob
