On my Lenovo X200s digital audio output does not even exist, put it is present in the sound settings, and every time I plug in and then pull out the headset, sound output switches to S/PDIF instead of internal speakers, and I do not hear sound at all. I guess it is the same error.

The jack is continously emitting a red light for the optical output, even when I'm not using it (which is almost always). I can manually disable this by running 'alsamixer' and mute channel 'S/PDIF 16'. However, this state is not stored. After a reboot it is always re-enabled. I tried saving alsa mixer levels but this is ignored. Additionally, when switching output profiles from 'Analog Stereo Duplex' to 'Digital Stereo (IEC958)-output', the S/PDIF 16 channel is unmuted again and the red light turns on. But when I switch back to 'Analog Stereo Duplex', the S/PDIF 16 channel is not muted again and the red light remains. Reqeuested info: 1) Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) - Release: 16.04 2) pulseaudio: 1:8.0-0ubuntu2 3) I expect the S/PDIF output to be muted until I explicitly request optical output. Even more preferable (seems to be possible at least on Mac OS X): optical out is enabled when a optical jack is inserted, otherwise it is always disabled. 4) S/PDIF light is nearly always on. Please let me know if you require additional information. I'll attach the output of 'aplay -L' and 'amixer controls'.
