Ports:
analog-output: Analog Output (priority: 9900)
analog-output-speaker: Speakers (priority: 10000)
analog-output-headphones: Headphones (priority: 9000, not available)
Active Port: analog-output-headphones

Even pulseaudio may neglect the Jack state of line out and line in

Select unplugged line out and line in as active port when headphone or Mic
Jack is unplugged

But active port cannot be an unavailable headphone
