It is completely optional whether you use this functionality or not.

In that case you don’t use the automatic routing you merely set it to off
and everything works as before. Or you merely use the route setup for
the function from userspace.

The device in question is not a mobile phone so there is no requirement
to have speaker and headphone active at the same time. It is possible to
create a function that would be headphone+speaker active at the same time
for that case.
