I wonder if we're better off with the attached patch. I've seen more
than one system where the volume control named "Front" is a part of
audio path for headphones. The attached patch would be somewhat of a
compromise: While we don't merge it into the path, as that would be
regressing machines where "Front" isn't a part of the audio path, it
would still enable sound on these machines. The question is if "Front"
is turning on some output it shouldn't on some machines, but I think it
wouldn't: this should (for all common systems I can think of) be fixed
through the driver's auto-mute anyway.
Seems like a reasonable compromise to me, but does anyone else have any
opinions on this? Or perhaps any cases where regressions could be
caused?
(see my latest comment on the path_set_condense() method which checks
volume use for OFF which could actually get in the way here!!)
The other option would be to quirk every single machine that has this
problem to a separate udev rule -> profile-set -> path .conf file.
What do you think?
Yeah I really don't like that option. If we do need some quirks here I'd
much rather see them implemented in a more fine grained way than with
udev rules... as it's a bit of blunt object. But ideally avoid it
altogether.

Ok, here's a patch properly formatted for inclusion.
After having seen yet another with the same problem, I have now included
this patch in Ubuntu.
I presume you don't mean the latter option (udev quirks)?
If it's the first one, we should probably carry it upstream until a
better solution is available. I'd rather do it once in a blessed way
(even if it's a work around) than having different quirks in different
distros if possible (makes generic upstream support easier).
Yes, I recommend applying the previously submitted patch [1] in
PulseAudio upstream, sorry if that was unclear.
