Correction: The other jack duplicated for the front panel is Mic In (no mention of the rear panel jack's shared Line In functionality here), not Rear Speaker Out.

Posting here by Takashi's advice after my alsa-user post remained unanswered.
There are a number of grave issues with the CA0132 codec on my Gigabyte G1.Sniper M5 (rev. 1.0) (Intel Z87, Recon3Di onboard, latest bios F8c). I've tried kernels (x64) from 3.9 to 3.13-preRC1 (as currently in Torvald's git), both with pulse on Ubuntu 13.10 and without on Arch Linux.
Sorry I don't have good news for you. The CA0132 is very dependent on the firmware that is loaded into the DSP that resides in the codec.
To get your system to work you'll have to obtain the firmware that was designed for your motherboard, then change the Linux driver to be able to talk to it, without a spec for how it works.
This is not impossible, but it would be rather time consuming.

So realistically, either Creative finally provides the required support or most CA0132 users can wait until the cows come home. Maybe I'll try to contact Gigabyte and Creative's Ian Minett directly.
(Guess that's what I get for buying supposedly better hardware without checking for proper Linux support.)
Nonetheless, thanks for the reply, I understand the problem.
