At Wed, 29 Aug 2007 18:42:56 +0300,Would you buy or use a stand-alone mixer where the only way to control total output would be to change the setting for one output, then rebalance all the others against it, and then iterate until the result is correct?

Status : problem is being debugged
I am not the one to handle the issue. I have just supplied the
pinconfigs for the intel mac cards and assisted with logs/debug
information, so I happen to be more of an end user. I am not familiar
with the code base of the Intel HDA Codec. Takashi Iwai is the one
with the knowledge to fix the problem.

IMO, this is actually no real regression. In the earlier verison, you
didn't have controls for multiple outputs, thus the mixer control was
named as Master. Now you do have multiple individual controls, and
thus there is no master any more, instead. That's the trade-off.
