Bug Description
bug is present in Ubuntu 12.04 and Xubuntu 12.04 and Lubuntu 12.04.1 64bit
alsa-base 1.0.25+
I except Ubuntu to automatically sense the presence of headphones and disable the speakers. This is not the case, the speakers and headphones play simultaneously. I must install gnome-alsamixer to manually set the jack sense. Alsa should have this enabled as the default setting. This seems as though it should be a very easy bug to fix, though.

ALSA info gzipped
I basically have a generic Dell box with integrated ICH7 audio
0 [ICH7 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH7
Intel ICH7 with AD1981B at irq 23
When I plug my headphones into the front, in alsamixer only the Headphone slider has an effect, Master does nothing to change volume.
Now Pulseaudio somehow merges these (even if flatvol is off) and the whole range of Headphone is compressed into the low range and it gets painful very quickly.
No idea if this is ALSA bug or not. Please advise and forward accordingly.
