Still doesn't work on my HP G60-530US. Also today tried the ppa modules:
<http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.31/?C=M;O=D>
[linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.31-20-generic_2.6.31-20.201003180600_amd64.deb
18-Mar-2010 13:57 	1.6M]
and no change. Still getting the sound from both headphones & speakers.
Note: I made sure to also update all of the other pulseaudio modules
from the ppa as well:
