Ok. Do you have a sense for how many machines that will regress due to
this patch? If it is common to set all pins to the wrong value, maybe
its the M31EI that is the exception.

When seeing the system as a whole, there can be other outputs on other
cards - HDMI, USB etc. If somebody e g plugs a USB headset in it will be
simpler for the user if PulseAudio does not also show the unplugged 3.5
mm jack.
