Did you miss my previous explanation, or did you find it insufficient? 
I'm repeating it below:

"The protocol skew in Ubuntu 11.10 was actually a mistake on my part. 
Since the UI changes that would depend on this information being 
available was backed out, I probably should have backed the actual 
protocol change out as well.

Anyway, here is the patch that forms one of the base features for jack 
detection, and brings upstream out of protocol skew with Ubuntu 11.10."
