Actaully it's for the jack that has a mixer switch, in which the headphone support turned off and becoming a line out. I can understand not adding this, since only one codec patchset will probably use it.
What do you mean by a "mixer switch"? Do you just mean a software control that can select between line and headphone signals?
Yeah, when it's a line out it doesn't mute the other lineouts. Is the
hardware able to determine which kind of device is connected to the jack?
Yes with the AC_VERB_GET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL verb being read when reporting the jack status.
