Comment 14 for bug 1203235

Still seeing this on Ubuntu 13.10. The 2 steps mentioned in #13 do solve the problem. However, as a result the speakers don't mute when a headphone is plugged into front jack.

I can confirm that plugging in headphones prevents the jack state from flapping. Also, when the state is flapping, the plugged in/out follow each other with <0.5 second delay. The jack never settles on plugged in when it is flapping. Could this bug be fixed by waiting ~0.5 second, before accepting a newly plugged in jack? While waiting, if we get a jack plugged out, then cancel the pending operation.
