Methinks you mean you plug your headset, via a stereo mini-plug, into
your speakers directly so it electro-mechanically connects the headset
and disconnects the speakers, huh?? <snarks> I AM a Grumpy Old Man. Me
knows what alsa will do and won't do, by itself, without something like
asound.gtk I think it was before they ripped the lungs out of it, or I'd
still be using it. <pfffffffs> Ric
