correct. Jack sensing is a purely mechanical thing. there's no complex "detection" going on.

source first to "Stereo Mixer" and then to "Mic" - the other sources
(CD, Line, Front Mic, Stereo Mixer, or setting "Front Mic" and then
"Mic") all exhibited the same behaviour, but setting it to "Stereo
Mixer" and then to "Mic" and leaving it there allowed starting jack with
nothing connected to any jack. I wonder why the source selected *before*
switching to "Mic" matters!

Also, it seems there's no need to connect an actual mic - connecting just
a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter works just as well. I think I'll just leave it
plugged in.
