Yep, just wondering if that is an incorrect way of using the jack abstraction layer.
As of yet we are only using this to confirm if an HP and Line Out is connected for use
in ALSA plugin, if there is the stream processing is turned off.

So basically if you plug into two or more line outs, each time you unplug a line out,
it will still send a event as if a line out was connected until all line outs are removed.
