To close this issue out of the LKML and alsa-devel, a bug report has been written.
It appears to be an issue with the 'headphone jack sense' (as kde labels it). The issue is in the way the 8x0 addresses the docking station/port replicator's audio output jack. The mentioned quick fix does not work for using the ds/pr audio output, but does resolve it for a user that is only using headphones/internal speakers.
But there was a behavioural change: applications which worked in 2.6.10
don't work in 2.6.11, is that correct?
If so, the best course of action is to change the kernel so those
applications work again. Can that be done?
