Public bug reported:

I have a Dell M1330 which has three jacks on the front of the machine,
one normal output, one switchable line out / line in, and one switchable
line out / mic in.  I have my system set up for DJing where I want to
use two outputs independently. So in alsamixer, I enable "Line In as
Output" and plug my second cable into the second jack.  The problem is,
if I connect a cable to the first output, it mutes the second output.
If I remove the cable from that first output, I hear sound out of the
second output again.

This bug has been very inconsistent for me.  For a while, it did work
correctly.  Another time, plugging a cable into the first output did not
mute the laptop speakers.  I have tried setting various model="?"
parameters, including 3stack, dell-3stack, and auto, but I can't get the
behavior consistent.  model="3stack" seems to work the best.  (Other
model= parameters seem to remove the "line in as output" option)

My workaround so far is to enable "mic as output" and use just the
second two outputs on the card (with nothing plugged into the primary
output), but this shouldn't be necessary.
