But that's the way it is on all OSes AFAICS. inputs.dac is the computer audio into the mixing system (input gain if you will). Similarly for CD and line in. outputs.master is the actual output volume control. hdaudio will try to spoof up a link between inputs.dac and outputs.master is one does not exist (actually only one way round in the current version).
