I did that but I'm not happy with the control name. Usually drivers add
jacks like: "Headset" for a headset, "Headphone" for a headphone and so on.
I did the following: control name is jack name + (jack type) + Jack. If
jack type == jack name, don't add (jack type) to the name.

Any suggestion how it should be?
