I have the same model of toshiba laptop (a135-s4467) and have spent the
last couple of hours trying to get audio working and then trying to get
the speakers to mute when headphones are plugged in.

I ended up installing alsa-driver 1.0.14 rc4 to get audio working once
again with Feisty.  I tried "model=3stack" and "model=auto" both of
which would produce audio but not mute the internal speakers when using
the headphone jack.  After looking through the patch_realtek.c code, I
found that a number of realtek based codec configurations require a
little extra work to enable proper jack sensing.

For the ALC861-VD, someone had implemented this jacks sensing for the
lenovo model.  So, I changed my model from "3stack" to "lenovo" and
voila, audio works as expected and jack sensing works as well.

Note: I did have to unplug and replug my headphones after I changed the
model (sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel
model=lenovo) for the muting to work but I haven't run into any other
quirks over a couple of reboots now after I set the model in
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.

I hope  this helps.
