Consider letting chromeos system UI list audio devices detailed to device not to nodes

Project Member Reported by warx@chromium.org, Dec 21 2016

Issue description

Currently, if a headset with mic is plugged on chromeos, tray audio UI lists both internal speaker and headphone, internal mic and micjack. This gives more freedom that user can playback-to/record-from either of them.

However, I guess when headphone is plugged, few user may want to playback through internal speaker (if they want, they can just unplug the headphone, right?). We probably can add UMA to record the stats of playing back to internal speaker with headphone plugged? Same for internal mic.

Consider when headset with mic is plugged, do not list internal nodes, and default playing/recording from plugged ones. That is what mac is doing. No try for linux/windows yet.

This also helps  issue 658048 .

This is a UI/UX decision.

I get all os-kernel-audio bugs auto assigned to me.

Being able to switch to an internal mic is particularly useful if you like a headset but not the mic attached to it.

Also sometimes you want to use a headset mic and built-in speakers.  The external devices must plug as a unit so there isn't a way to plug/unplug only one, you have to use the UI to select.
