This is a repost of the the jack reporting API I posted recently.  There
are no chances since the last submission - as discussed in that thread
the existing users and the need to support buttons implemented in jacks
pushes me towards use of an input device to represent jacks.

Takashi, do you have any comments on these patches?

I have no strong opinion about this.  Your implementation looks small
enough.  But, if Dmitry finds the input layer not suitable for such a
purpose, this isn't a good way to go.

I think the question is how general and how extensible these features
should be.  If it's just a jack reporting, there are bunch of other
possible implementations.  Even ALSA control API could provide a
similar functionality.
