Yes, manual mentions this. Native Windows drivers open dialog to point
what device I plugged in after I plug headset. Ubuntu (Unity) also has
similar popup: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-settings-daemon-team
/unity-settings-daemon/trunk/files/head:/plugins/media-keys/what-did-
you-plug-in/ but it doesn't open, when I plug something into jack.
Xubuntu doesn't have things such as that.

acpi_listen, when I plug/unplug headset, outputs only headphone's event
jack/headphone HEADPHONE plug|unplug

event about microphone such as
jack/microphone MICROPHONE plug or unplug
is not listed in acpi_listen output

I'm not sure I have a time to figure out Takashi's sources such as that
and make patches

enum {
	ALC_HEADSET_MODE_UNKNOWN,
	ALC_HEADSET_MODE_UNPLUGGED,
	ALC_HEADSET_MODE_HEADSET,
	ALC_HEADSET_MODE_MIC,
	ALC_HEADSET_MODE_HEADPHONE,
};

But I found semi-silution with acpid

I created /etc/acpi/events/acer-headset which runs script on jack acpi event:
event=jack/headphone HEADPHONE plug
action=/etc/acpi/acer-headset.sh

And script (/etc/acpi/acer-headset.sh) which opens pavucontrol to chose
input source everytime when I plug headset

#!/bin/bash
USR=<username>
XDISPLAY=":0.0" # echo $DISPLAY in users env
TAB=4 # tab with input source selection

# set X environment
export DISPLAY=${XDISPLAY}
export XAUTHORITY="/home/${USR}/.Xauthority"

sudo -u ${USR} -E pavucontrol --tab=${TAB}

The solution is quite comfortable for me. Thanks for explanation of some
details, Raymond, it helped me.

Title:
  [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH, recording] No autoswitch

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Acer E3-112
  Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10, 15.04 
  After plugging in headset only headset earphones detected, mic from headset not detected and recording is only from built in mic.

  Appending 'options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi' to
  /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf helps to tell xubuntu that headset mic
  may be plugged, but after plugging in, xubuntu doesn't automaticaly
  detect that mic is plugged, it can see only headset's earphones, so i
  need evreytime in pavucontrol tell xubuntu that mic is plugged in even
  after adding option.
