Just had a user in #alsa on freenode, with an Asus P5GD1 mainboard. They couldnt seem to get surround sound working at all. It has an ALC880 based HDA-Intel sound device on board.
Now, the problem lies in the Susbsystem ID's (1043:814e). These match in patch_realtek.c as follows:
SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x814e, "ASUS", ALC880_ASUS)
The users mainboard (The ASUS P5GD1) actually has 6 output jacks, aswell as SPDIF, not the standard 3-jacks that the "ASUS" model quirk implies.
I talked this user through forcing the driver to use '6stack-digout' for his sound device, and things all work fine now.
Actually, this was changed originally from ALC880_5STACK for the exactly same mobo (changeset 4798). I guess 6stack-digout wasn't tested by that user.
So, if 6stack-digout is confirmed to match better than now, it's fairly safe to replace the line. Care to send a patch with a proper changelog?

Going to get the user to run a few more tests, to confirm all is working as it should (seems to be, on first glance) before submitting a patch/changelog.
Will let you know when ready.
