I repeated the experiment with the Fedora kernel 2.6.29.4. The results
are exactly the same. stac92xx_unsol_event() isn't called when the jack
is plugged or unplugged, and alsa-info triggers a number of HP_EVENTs.

However, this time I made an interesting observation. alsa-info does not
generate spurious events. It generates exactly the number of events that
should be generated before the execution of alsa-info. For example: if I
plug and unplug the HP and run alsa-info, two HP_EVENTs are generated.
This explains the three events I observed earlier (plug, unplug, plug,
alsa-info).

It seems the events are getting "stuck" somewhere and alsa-info
"releases" them.
