Forgive my ignorance, but would that be possible to switch back and forth via software?

If it is, could this be the hardware easter egg Ive heard about?

Software would only be needed if the device implemented some kind of software controlled switch between audio and video out. With the TV out on the chipset hardwired to the headphone jack in replacement of the audio pins, all you should need is a suitable X11 configuration, or maybe not even that (if the TV output defaults to cloning the primary display).
