Seen that I'm not able to find out the matching between pins and jacks
(decided to read the last chapter of HDA spec), I continued to play.
With hp-dv5 I have to following situation:

- Both HP jacks are producing sound but no automuting,
- Internal speaker can be controlled and muted using 'Speaker' mixer
control,
- HP jacks can be controlled and muted using 'Front' mixer control.

Then I tried model=dell-m4-1 :
- Both HP jacks are producing sound, automuting works,
- Internal speaker can be controlled and muted using 'Front' mixer control,
- HP jacks can be controlled and muted using 'Front' mixer control,
- 'Speaker' control is replaced by 'Headphone' control which is useless,


I took a diff of codec-files in both situations and found out the following:
 Analog Loopback: 0x00
 Node 0x0a [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400181: Stereo
   Pincap 0x0000001c: OUT HP Detect
-  Pin Default 0x0421101f: [Jack] HP Out at Ext Right
-    Conn = 1/8, Color = Black
-    DefAssociation = 0x1, Sequence = 0xf
+  Pin Default 0x40f100f0: [N/A] Other at Ext N/A
+    Conn = 1/8, Color = Unknown
+    DefAssociation = 0xf, Sequence = 0x0
   Pin-ctls: 0x00:
   Unsolicited: tag=01, enabled=1
   Connection: 3

I set 0x0a to 0x421101f in user_init_verbs and yes Speaker control
disappears, a useless HP control appears, automuting works. I'm
attaching the complete diff from dell-m4-1 to hp-dv5 model.
