I am a bit interested in how the Realtek Windows driver gets its pin config. There IMO are two options: a) it uses the bios autoconfig - as parsing this doesn't work in alsa here, there must be something special in it b) it uses a config file - it should be easy to get out the pin config.
I have no concrete evidence for this but my feeling based on a poke around the windoze drivers a few years ago is that they were configured for the particular laptop by the manufacturer. This configuration information is not in an obvious location though - if they go this way it's either embedded within the driver itself or located in a binary format file somewhere. In both cases this makes it almost impossible to utilise.
