[conspire] no audio to headphone

I'm no fan of Pulse Audio (or the various other Poetteringware pieces),
but want to caution Paul Zander that trying to rip out or set aside
Pulse Audio on the Pulse Audio-oriented Kubuntu distribution, and shim
in ALSA (with or without apulse) to take its (Pulse Audio's) place would
be radical system-architecture surgery, and IMO should not be attempted
lightly.

Please be careful to caution people, especially those who are not expert
user, if giving them radical-changes advice.
