ah, then sounds like it requires software intervention to reconfigure 
the output mixer for a different output channel...   most of the stuff 
I've used, its electro-mechanical and both headphone and speakers are on 
the same 'output' from the sound hardware, so the software doesn't even 
know or care which output is in use.


sorry, I have no clue how to make that play.
