channels aren't separated after switching between speakers and headphone (sometimes)

Description
Symptoms: -music sounds strange -playing front-left (gnome) is also heard on the right headphone speaker and the other way around
Reproduction (speakers are connected, also the headphone):
- plug out headphones, the sound should be hearable from the speakers
- listen to music some time
- plug in headphones Now this problem appears sometimes (with the headphone, the speakers still operate fine). The problem can't be solved by restarting pulseaudio. The weirdest thing is that the problem disappears after a while. Sorry that I don't have more information. I hope you can reproduce the problem.
my conclusion: It seems as if the left and the right channel are mixed to a distorted mono sound. But this seems only to happen in headphones. Most probably it is a fault in the headphone detection (the headphone itself is new and works fine) or a hardware problem (broken driver?)
