The stac92xx_unsol_event() isn't called when the jack is plugged. It is
called twice at kernel boot (HP_EVENT and then INSERT_EVENT), and it is
called three times when running alsa-info (all HP_EVENT, regardless if
the HP is plugged or not).

These results may not be entirely accurate as the current snapshot
isn't working correctly. It just plays the first second of audio and
keeps looping, locking the application (with and without pulseaudio).

If it would help you, I could try to debug stac92xx_unsol_event() in the
current Fedora kernel (2.6.29.4), as the sound works with it and the
jack sensing don't.
