Yes Headphones works, even mics works

For the tests I've created a little script (attached for review if I
done something wrong), Here's the results

0x01:
-------> dir = 0, data = 1  =====> Front Left
-------> dir = 0, data = 0  =====> Front Left
-------> dir = 1, data = 1  =====> Front Left
-------> dir = 1, data = 0  =====> No Sound

0x02:
-------> dir = 0, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 0, data = 0  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 0  =====> No Sound

0x04:
-------> dir = 0, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 0, data = 0  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 0  =====> No Sound

0x16:
-------> dir = 0, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 0, data = 0  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 0  =====> No Sound

0x32:
-------> dir = 0, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 0, data = 0  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 1  =====> LFE
-------> dir = 1, data = 0  =====> No Sound

0x64:
-------> dir = 0, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 0, data = 0  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 1  =====> LFE
-------> dir = 1, data = 0  =====> No Sound

0x128:
-------> dir = 0, data = 1  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 0, data = 0  =====> No Sound
-------> dir = 1, data = 1  =====> LFE
-------> dir = 1, data = 0  =====> No Sound


I've got the same results with the NID 0x0f
