Okay, I tried that. It did change the behavior, but it didn't solve the
problem.
Before, I would get sound out of the headphone jack, but not the speakers. By
passing that parameter, I now get sound out of the speakers and plugging in
headphones has no effect.
Additionally, adding model=ref caused "IEC958" to appear in the mixer. It can
be either muted or unmuted.

Okay, that's not a problem. I just wasn't sure if this was normal. The
soundcard in my desktop machine is an Audigy 2 and it's got all sorts of bells
and whistles. I wouldn't expect most of them to be present in a laptop sound
chip.
