It is much better now. I applied the attached patch and 2, 4, 6 and 8
channel sound is working, enabling outputs incrementally as I change the
number of channels in alsamixer. Observations:
* there is no mute for side channel
* no matter if Auto-Mute is set to Speaker or Line Out+Speaker, speakers
will mute upon plugging a jack into either headphone or side/spdif socket
* there is a "front" slider which controls internal speakers and HP
jack, but the mute control under it does nothing. There are separate
mute controls for HP and Speakers, which work as advertised.
This is the alsa-info.sh output:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7df8ccac0a5ae751110f7b7e56f9e0ba5cc3b302
Looks like we are almost there, thanks for all the input so far!

Julian
