<pre>It's expected that PulseAudio chooses the "Analog Stereo Output" profile when
plugging in headphones, because it has higher priority than "Digital Output
(S/PDIF)", and besides, you're plugging in analog headphones and not an S/PDIF
cable. I don't know why Ubuntu doesn't do the same. Does Ubuntu change the
profile to "Analog Surround 4.0 Output" when unplugging headphones, or does it
keep the digital output active all the time?
Since you apparently need to use the digital profile in order to get audio from
the headphones, there seems to be a bug in alsa. Instructions for reporting
