As "External Subwoofer Jack" can report the presence of the external
Sonice Master Subwoofer

You need David to answer whether pulseaudio can auto mute since there
is NO "Headphone Jack" kctl for model=dell-headset-multi


http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/hda-emu.git/tree/codecs/canonical?id=HEAD

There is no "Headphone Jack" kctl for those alc3661-dell which use
dell-headset-multi,

Pulseaudio expect "Headphone Jack" but it is not available in
dell-headset-multi

it is pulseaudio bug to support surround40 since your laptop does not have
"RL and RR" chmap
