alsa-info.sh output with wrong output

I think I was too rash with my conclusion that this is now fixed.

It happens from time to time, that the output of the sounds are still wrong. I
cannot work out why or under what conditions. I know that a reboot/shutdown
does not solve the problems I am having.

I encounter the following problem with openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot 20161010:
- My Thinkpad T420 is in its docking station
- The docking station has speakers connected to its output jack
- The Thinkpad has nothing in its headphones jack
- There is no sound coming out of the speakers (nor the Thinkpad internal
speakers)

Now, I plugin my headphones into the Thinkpad headphones jack
- Sound is coming out of the speakers from the docking output jack
- And, simultaneously, sound is coming out of my headphones

However, the behaviour I am looking for (which exist sometimes)
- If the Thinkpad is in its dock and no headphones are jacked in: sound should
come out of the speakers meaning the dock output
- If the Thinkpad is in its dock and headphones are jacked in: only sound
should be coming out of the headphones, and not the speakers

I attached the output for alsa-info.sh for the wrong behaviour, and I hope I
can trigger the correct behaviour soon. Needless to say, I already googled a
lot and I cannot find a solution.
