headphone output is not preferred over HDMI

Description
Tanu has a patchset that makes HDMI audio work out of the box on NUCs that expose two different cards by adding some profile availability management logic to module-alsa-card: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/24301
After those patches HDMI output works but plugging in headphones doesn't change the default device. Quote:
On this hardware analog and HDMI outputs are on different cards, and the routing policy in PulseAudio doesn't currently automatically change the default device from one card to another, and also doesn't prefer one device type over another. I agree that headphones should be preferred by default.
If you file another bug, I'll try to do something about it. It might turn out to be tricky, though.
