@Jono,
Not sure I'm following. How would the computer know whether your headset
mic is broken or not?
As soon as you plug something into that jack, the kernel autoswitches
from the internal mic to the headset mic - just as it switches from
internal speakers to headphones.
I clearly see there is a use case for a 4-pin headset jack, where you
only want to use the headphones and still use the laptop's internal mic,
(and likewise, use the headset mic with the internal speakers) but we
don't provide a solution for that use case today. If this is what you
mean, I guess the report should be a wishlist bug and titled
differently.
