Could you try a more recent driver version from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver ?
There have been a lot of changes since 14rc3 was released, including some Mac specific changes, although it may not be specific to your system.
Also, if you could, rebuild 14rc2 with "./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-debug=detect", reload them and test that headphones work again, and send me the output from "dmesg|fgrep ALSA", so I can hopefully determine which Node the headphones are on. Additionally, if you could run http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh on both 14rc2 and the latest driver for comparison, that would really help.
Thanks,
Tobin Davis

Using alsa-driver-1.0.14rc3 with an iMac Core2 Duo 24" results in audio only available through the headphones. Additionally the sound is very low, even at the highest mixer setting.
This problem is very similar to the bug recently fixed in 1.0.14rc2 with the audio on the MacPro. I was able to make a patch that applies the same fix for the MacPro to my iMac. The patch fixes the audio so that the built in speakers work normally, but now the headphones do not work at all. Obviously some more work is needed on this.
The patch I've attached just adds my device's' PCI SSID to an existing switch statement.
I am willing to provide some more testing if necessary.
Here is my systems info:
