I'm sure this will all be sorted out sooner or later. In the meantime, I'm putting this here for the benefit of other users with the same problem. Note: I'm using Lucid, and I tried this with the 2.6.32-21 and 2.6.32-33 kernals.

As per instructions found here: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/4293/solved-alsa-no-sound-from-internal-speaker/

If you have an Acer Aspire One 722 netbook or any model using the Conexant ID 506c chip, and your headphones don't work (and the .deb submitted doesn't work for you), do this:

1. Get the latest Alsa driver snapshot from here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/
2. Extract the zip file
3. Open a terminal
4. Navigate to the extracted folder
5. Type: ./configure --enable-dynamic-minors

6. Type: make

7. Type: sudo make install-modules
8. Reboot

Your headphones will now work properly and the solution survives a reboot.
Thanks to everyone who worked to solve this bug.
