What do you mean "could not make it work with the alsamixer"?  You could start
alsamixer with -c0 or -c1 option and adjust each mixer element, right?

As long as "Auto-Mute Mode" is set, the driver decides which output to use per
jack state, so you cannot choose it freely when plugging multiple jacks.  If
you want to play *only* from the laptop headphone or from the dock headphone,
you need to disable the auto-mute feature and adjust the mixer switch manually.

The alsa-info outputs from comment 6 and 7 indicate that the pulseaudio is
still running and controlling the mixer.  I vaguely remember of a similar issue
with the PA version of openSUSE 13.1.

Is it possible to upgrade to openSUSE 13.2?  Basically I'm not going to debug
such a PA version any longer actively, it'd be great if we can align to the
latest status.
