[LAU] Fwd: OT: My soundcard is attacking me!!

Ok, well not *really* but it sure feels that way. I've got an Asus Xonar
Essence ST sound card. It has a headphone amp that switches on and off with
an audible *click* if i switch from speakers to headphones. The problem
is, if i do it while i'm wearing my headphones or if the power switches off
while i'm wearing my headphones there is a SNAP in them. This really
hurts, and i'm worried that i'm doing damage or may have done damage to my
ears.

Any fixes to this? I've been sliding the cups off my ears when i switch it
manually but it doesn't always happen of my volition.

Anyway to insert a pause before the input is switched in pulseaudio for
instance?

Thanks,
