AFAIK HDA generally supports Jack Sensing. However
it's not wired up properly on all hardware. And there's no driver support
in the Linux HDA driver to generate an input device for jack
sensing.

But I might be mistaken. Takashi and Jaroslav know the current state
of Jack Sensing on Linux much better.
