Bug#687331: pulseaudio: plugging in headphones has no effect

[Jon Dowland]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 2.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

_From time to time I experience the following but at the moment (and using
the latest from experimental) I'm getting it every time so felt like reporting.

Quite simply when plugging stereo headphones into the headphone jack on my
laptop (thinkpad x121e), sound continues to be emitted from the internal
speakers and not from the headphones.

I can work around this, most of the time, by switching hardware to Digital
Stereo (HDMI) output and plugging my headphones into my multimedia system
(which the laptop is plugged into via HDMI). However that's suboptimal for
various reasons and does not work on the move.
