The patch only changes the order in which headset-mic and headphone-mic 
are listed, and that order should not have any real impact on anything.
There's clearly a bug somewhere, but the bug can't be that the paths
are listed in the wrong order, since the order should not matter.

If the port must not be headphone-mic when the user chooses headphones
in the UI, couldn't the UI program tell pulseaudio to switch to
headset-mic?
