> the article says that Intel is working on a standard to let those pins be used for analog audio

In that case, the article is wrong because the USB 3.1 spec already supports analog audio via the Audio Adapter Accessory Mode. Whether this phone supports this mode is unclear, but it's part of the existing spec explicitly to allow passive USB-C to 3.5mm adapters

Official spec: http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/

page 166 of the USB-C spec: http://www.those.ch/designtechnik/wp-content/uploads/2014/08...
