I think this might only apply to SBLives and not Audigy/Audigy2. Still,
it's harmless if the front and rear codecs are of similar quality. And
there are definitely a lot of cards where the rear codec is better.
Many of the people who request it dual boot and use the kX driver under
Windows so jsut don't want to have to switch their speaker cables
around.

If users are switching their cables around and can actually hear the
difference, then I suggest they just edit their .asoundrc file to do the
switch for them. No need to change any of ALSA.
