Actually a slightly better workaround would be to open /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-headphones.conf
And change: [Element Speaker] switch = off to [Element Speaker] switch = mute ...that way the port will switch, which means you can have different volumes for speaker and headphones, but "Speaker playback switch" will not mute when "headphones" is selected. I have analyzed your issue a bit, but I'm unsure whether this is actually a bug in the codec hardware, or if it's related to the GPIOs.
