You are right - when auto-mute is disabled sound goes via both speakers
and headphones when they are plugged. I did not know the function of
auto-mute.
However, the "Speaker" and "Headphone" controls still do influence both
outputs, and "Speaker" can only be muted - there is no volume control
available. So, in my opinion, they should either be merged altogether,
or switched back to the way they work in 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64, that
is setting the volume of speakers and headphones independently.

OK, understood.
