By default setup i mean the setup of the card when booting a linux
kernel without patches or any user pin configuration. Iotw the setup
most people are running.

You can make them seperately mute when e.g. reconfiguring the dock
headphone jack as a line-out (see the patchset i sent this weekend for
some fixes when that's done) or potentially by changing things around in
kernel. E.g. either by auto-muting one of the hp's or exposing a control
for it.
