This evening i will check out the Takashi sound-2.6 git kernel tree and update it every day to give feedback on problems with this card on my motherboard.
If i could help in any other way (debug, dmesg or others) let me know :)
why alsaconf does not find my card? what i'm wrong?
anyway, thanks for all this work.

Sorry for the intrusion,
I've a P7H55D-M Pro motherboard with an hda-intel realtek card (ALC892) i open a ticket in alsa bugtracker and Raymond says me to post here. My motherboard had 6 pinjack behind and optical output on it, from the specification page on asus ( http://uk.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=qWmZUAdNKeozTOXb&templete=2 )
Realtek ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
- BD Audio Layer Content Protection
- Support Jack-dectection, Multi-streaming,Front Panel Jack-Retasking (Mic
in port)
- ASUS Noise Filter
- Optical S/PDIF out ports at back I/O
From 2.6.38 kernel i've got a lot of problems with it, sound cracky, microphone doesnt work or work badly, no sound after a random time of use and some other problems. I'm now using 2.6.39-rc1 with kernel distribuited alsa build-in with kernel,
About my bios config [Front Panel] = AC97 [SPDIF OUT] = SPDIF
my latest alsa info is http://valeriotesei.com/alsa/alsainfo
Link to ticket (to see my discussion with Raymond) https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5331
Let me know if i could help in some way, i'm not so skilled to help with source code, but i could be a beta tester.
Sorry if i'm off-topic.
Hope this will help you.

The other problem is this patch
{ .id = 0x10ec0892, .name = "ALC892", .patch = patch_alc662 },
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kernel.git;a=commit;h=274693f37090ada2ca...
ALC892 provides ten DAC channels that simultaneously support 7.1
channel
sound playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output
(multiple
streaming) through the front panel stereo outputs.
It seem that there is no specific code to distinguish a 10
channels
alc892
from those 6 channels alc6xx
Yeah, but there is no quirks specific to alc892.
Remember that the final goal is to remove all model-quirks from the driver.

My patch reduce the size of alc662_dac_nid may be wrong if the driver
intend
to use alc662_auto_fill_dac_nids() to handle 6, 8 , 10 channels
Don't worry, alc662_dac_nids is used only for the fixed quirks. The auto-parser doesn't use these fixed defined pin arrays.

I guess the driver still need to provide init_verbs for alc892 for the side channel mixer 0x0f since alc662_parse_auto_config() use different init_verbs for different codec
especially alc662_init_verbs
send: NID=0x15, VERB=0x70c(set_eapd_btl), PARM=0x2 EAPD command to non-capable pin 0x15
