Bug Description
Test case:
1. Install 16.04 + dist-upgrades
2. Plug-in a headphone, select headphone from the pop-up device selection dialog
3. Open "Sound Settings" applet, you will see two entries: Speakers and Headphone.
4. Click on "Speakers" entry as output device and try to make some noise
Expected result:
* User should see only one entry, otherwise the "Speaker" entry is expected to work when it's selected.
Actual result:
* No sound with Speaker entry (when there are two entries), but it works fine with headphones
This issue will lead to another one, bug 1583801, when user boot with headphone plugged in, as the default option will be the internal speaker, there will be no sound at all. User will need to click on the Headphone entry in Sound Settings manually, or remove and plug it back again to make headphones work (or just remove it to make internal speaker work)
