A lot of headsets/headphones have a "Speaker" mixer control. This confuses PulseAudio to think it is a speaker instead of a headphone/headset. Therfore, we rename it to "Headphone".
We determine if something is a headphone similar to how udev determines form factor (see 78-sound-card.rules).

I tried to find a better way of doing this using the existing quirk or map infrastructure but it didn't seem to fit, so added a new explicit check.
