Running the RC now - I get the headphone icon if I am already switched
to analog and the expanded sound settings window shows 'speakers'
before I plug in. The larger picture switches to headphones too. And
if I am switched to headphones and remove the headphone jack it
auto-switches to digital output (spdif). The part that still seems
missing is that if it is on spdif and I plug the headphones in,
nothing happens. It is sort of an odd setup where the spdif jack is
in a docking station, but windows did the auto-switch both directions.
