Just to let you know: I had a similar bug with Fedora 24 which drove me nuts. Analog output was always switched back to digital, losing sound. Changing it in pavucontrol didn't last longer than a few seconds. With the patch from comment 12, my problem is fixed!

When the headphones are unplugged, sound is NOT automatically switched back to the speakers. This bug started happening on my system after I upgraded from 14.04 to 15.10 so it is a regression. Attached is pulseaudio log of what happens when I plug and unplug my headphones.
