and those NXP smart audio ICs are speaker amps, they drive the internal speaker and maybe earpiece, but has nothing to do with 3.5mm path.
Are you sure about this? I mean I know they are intended for small speaker applications, but could it not also be used for headphone audio? If the NXP chips are speaker amps only then the amps in the x800 and x900 are a mystery. What is LeTV using to amp the headphones in those devices? Some reports here say the output is quite loud. The NXP chip in my Flash Plus 2 is not at all loud, but those are the reports. So surely it can't be SoC audio at the headphone jack. You know I just realized that the speaker in my Flash Plus 2 is actually unusually loud, but the headphone audio isn't. So maybe Alcatel/Flash at least is only using it for the speakers, but it has a Mediatek SoC and Mediatek audio is mouse quiet and the Flash Plus 2 audio isn't quite that bad. So I don't think it's SoC audio.
