I opened the external box for checking what's in there and noticed the 
headphone jack seems to have it's own dedicated second DAC (CS4392KZ), 
and audio interface receiver (CS8415A), so it could get a bit more 
complicated.
I'll see if I can find out more about that.

Also I found the GPIO flags that switch the relais, but that's probably 
useless as long as their function is not known. (It's 0x04, 0x40, 0x200 
and 0x1000).
