You forgot the firmware of the headphones!


Corded headphones! :) at least until open firmware exists.


Ever tried to connect a corded headphone into a microphone jack? It works quite well


Is there some kind of diode for AC signals?


Yes, they're called amplifiers. Directional coupling circuits would apply in theory, but not in practice; they're good enough to do full-duplex audio over two wires, but not nearly good enough to deal with the sensitivity of analog inputs if you want to prevent a signal from being read.
