Comment 73 for bug 946232

Without changing anything in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf, I have "Analog Output" and "Headphones" available as ports for output devices in pavucontrol (I'm running kubuntu). If I comment out every "required-any" and restart pulseaudio, I have "Speakers" and "Headphones". But the output port does not automatically change when I plug/unplug the headphones, so I think jack detection does not work on my computer.

My PC has Line In, Mic and Headset at the front + Mic, Line Out, Line In, Side, Rear and C/Sub at the back. According to the product specifications, it has Integrated High Definition audio: Realtek ALC 888S chipset, Supports up to 7.1 audio channels.

pavucontrol offers a list of profiles under "Configuration":

  Analog Stereo Duplex
  Analog Stereo Output
  Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input
  Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output
  Analog Surround 5.1 Output + Analog Stereo Input
  Analog Surround 4.1 Output + Analog Stereo Input
  Analog Surround 5.1 Output
  Analog Surround 4.1 Output
  Analog Surround 7.1 Output + Analog Stereo Input
  Analog Surround 5.0 Output + Analog Stereo Input
  Analog Surround 4.0 Output + Analog Stereo Input
  Analog Surround 7.1 Output
  Analog Surround 5.0 Output
  Analog Surround 4.0 Output
  Analog Stereo Input

pavucontrol offers a "Headphones" port only when the "Analog Stereo Duplex/Output" is used.

Is it possible to have a profile with all available ports (front + rear)? Is there any chance to get jack detection working?
