Have you actually tried using the latest pulseaudio for a couple of

what the OP wants.
It sure seems you have some gripe with pulseaudio and/or pulseaudio's
upstream and are on a personal crusade to bash it every time you can.
Pulseaudio is not perfect but neither is alsa, if alsa only solves the
problem then fine, if some user has better luck with pulseaudio+alsa so
be it, the user will decide for itself if it sucks or not so just let it
rest.
Ubuntu Studio Precise chips with a new version of PA and a PA Jack
bridge. RME HDSPe AIO started working when PA was removed, it didn't
work with PA. Regarding to this thread it's irrelevant.
BOT as mentioned before, the OP seem to use GNOME, so it's likely that
he already has PA installed. Audio out is ok, so PA doesn't cause
trouble, but it also doesn't auto-mute the speakers.
So EVERYBODY who brings up to install or not install PA does babble and
doesn't help.
Are there settings for PA, ALSA some GNOME mixer or what ever, that
enables what the OP needs?
That could be done with udev and ALSA or with PA. At least a PA solution
is/was in the wiki (as far as I remember)
