            Bug ID: 84905
           Summary: automatic output source select is not working properly
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Dear developers,

PA/alsa gets better and better. After a long time with randomly audio or not, I
recently found that I can always get audio reliably on my output device.

Although I find in my case, I have now to open the PA volume control, go to the
output section and select manually the correct device. It gives me the
following ports:
- Speakers
- Analog output
- Headphones (unplugged)

I find that PA selects Analog output by default, but the only way to get sound
is to select Speakers.

If I plug in a headphone, PA switches to: Headphones (plugged in), however, to
get sound out of the headphones I must select: Speakers (unavailable)

This is somewhat curious. In my machine (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Si 1520) this is
the only way sound gets output aparently.

Kernel:
Linux version 3.16-2-686-pae (debian-kernel at lists.debian.org) (gcc version
4.8.3 (Debian 4.8.3-11) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.16.3-2 (2014-09-20)

Some stuff from dmesg:

/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input12

The automatic selection is not correct for sound output, It could be that the
inputs signaled here only try to say what is plugged in with this chip? not
affect the actual sound routing?

Pulseaudio version according to aptitude (it has no --version option or I did
not find it):
pulseaudio  5.0-6  5.0-6+b1

This bug could be related to no: 70865
