So far, looks good to me, I'll do a full review later today.

Thanks, I planed on removing them that's why I wrote this into the ECN.
Actually, I wanted to discuss this first but I probably forgot about it.
Any comments? Otherwise I'll remove them.

Right, they got lost. I'll add them.

Yes, it's probably a really good idea to add ESD protection to all pins
of the Jack as it is in Joerg's proposal.

I'd definitely go for the Pi filter in all of the headphone lines and
remove B4102.

Do we have already 56pF in the BOM or does that mean we need a new
component?

Sure, it's NC right now, so there shouldn't be a problem with removing
C3020.

This needs to be checked more in detail because we'd use polarized
tantalum caps for output coupling which can get damaged when operated
inverse.
