Sorry for delayed replies. I have not much time for this lately.

Yes. It is after the latest patch.

Er, yes.

I think I am as confused as you, if not more. I redid the tests
but recorded everything this time with script(1). It is without
timing information (would be boring anyway, with me figuring
the arguments), so just cat it. Just in case: it sets xterm title.
The transcript is in headphone.gz.

That's 3.9.2-wo-headphone.alsa.gz

That's 3.9.2-w-headphone.alsa.gz. Headphone not working, speakers
correctly muted.

3.9.2-w-headphone-working.alsa.gz. The working state is lost after
unplugging and replugging the headphones. It is different to the
case when the alternate channel is used (Independent HP): replugging
does not break the output than.

Sorry for confusion and thanks!
