The technical specification of a58
2 pin internal speaker connector Alc662 5.1

Seem windows support surround 5.1
Raymond, there can certainly be cases which this patch does not
cover
after all, it's mostly a band aid given the lack of topology
information -
but do you see cases where this patch actually causes a
*regression*? If
so, could you point me to alsa-info for the machine where this patch
causes
a regression?

I expect those desktop with 2+2 HD Audio codec support independent
headphone
This mean the driver should not create "Lineout+HP" Playback volume
Line out and headphone cannot share same DAC
Do you have a pincfg representing this? Then we can check it easily via hda-emu.
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/hda-emu.git/tree/codecs/ca...
Both HP (0x21) and LO (0x14) can share the same DAC (0x03) over mixer (0x0d). So the statement above "Line out and headphone cannot share same DAC" isn't correct.
Refer to user manual
Multi-streaming can be enabled in the Realtek control panel to allow independent audio streams to be sent to/from the front and rear jacks
This is the implementation detail and it's a matter of taste which should be dependent and which not. There is no bible here.
You can forcibly do that by a fixed DAC assignment (or add some badness) if you want, too...
