We had the discussion on IRC which I'm not exactly sure where it ended up w r t this patch, other than you tested retasking your dock headphone to dock line out. Anyway, a quick grep through alsa-infos for Canonical's certified machines shows that "Dock Headphone Jack" *without* a specific "Dock Headphone" volume is the rule rather than the exception, so I pushed this patch in its original form now.
