No not really, I was thinking maybe the WiFi module plugs in there. Or maybe GPS? Or RF wireless flash trigger? Or I don't know, just trying to think outside the box. I will never use a headphone so I was hoping it had a secondary purpose.....

Maybe I should have said "I think Ricoh did a great job on what I can see so far"?
Ultimately the test of a camera is what sort of quality the images it produces show. I'm going to give Ricoh the benefit of the doubt and assume they would not wait two years and then release a camera that produces worse IQ then the k-5. Maybe that's optimistic of me, but I doubt it. A 24mp image with the same IQ, DR, and noise results as the k-5IIs is the least I am expecting. Anything better than that is icing.
We should see output and spec sheet in a few days. Based on how quiet Adam has been I'm expecting to see sample images very quickly. Maybe they will be bad, in which case I have no reason to buy, few other people will either, and Ricoh ends up with egg on their face. I don't see that happening, Ricoh took the time to do this right and I don't think they are going to drop the ball on the most important part. But all will be revealed in a few days. Exciting times in Pentaxland....
