Downloaded and installed
     http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/alsa/alsa-driver/alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.bz2
in accordance with those instructions:
     http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel

loaded it with option 'model=auto' as you suggested, launched mplayer and  
plugged/unplugged headphones several times.
Unfortunately, those actions weren't recognized and laudspeakers continued  
playing without any interruption.

Please see alsa-info.sh output in attachment.
