Hm, how can it be?  The proc file shows it's 0 (= all power-on), and
you see a different value?

I'm a bit skeptical about this relation.  SPDIF-IN was used for the
EAPD control on many boards with ac97 codecs, but EAPD is usually
controlled via AC_VERB_SET_EAPD_BTLENABLE verb to the specific pin
widget on HD-audio codecs.  GPIO may be required for some weird
setting, but it's nowhere defined in the datasheet.

BTW, how did you find out that the HP pin is 0x0d and the speaker is
0x0e?
