I actually started it out as its own path, only to discover i couldn't unmix them/mute them seperately :/.. So yes this is definitely the case for at least my X220T + dock. As far as i could tell from the kernel HDA sources it seems that all headphone outputs always tend to get setup as mixed (although i could well be wrong here). I'd actually would like them to not be seperately switchable (Such that e.g. headphones on the laptop can get priority over headphones on the dock) or rather, have the dock jack turn off when the laptops headphones are plugged. But it looks like that needs some kernel patching to add controls to change the HDA routing/pin setup to make that happen. -- Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd at luon.net>
