[pulseaudio-discuss] Different sound through speakers and headset possible with PulseAudio?

[Matt Patterson]

If this is a laptop you may not "Actually" have 2 output devices to 
perform this task. At least on my laptop there is just a little switch 
that detects the headset and swaps from speakers to headset and vice-versa.

If on the other hand you have a multichannel sound card you might be 
able to solve your problem by playing the speakers through the front 
channel and the headphones through a rear channel. Check out the section 
of the FAQ about using a multichannel sound card as multiple stereo 
sound cards.
