Well, first off, you need to figure out the pin mapping, which
pin-widget NID corresponding to which actual I/O.
You'd better start from the output jacks than speaker outputs since
speaker outputs often require the special handling like GPIO and/or
EAPD.

With hda-verb, you can issue all commands, so free to change the amp
volume and reconnect the widgets.  Jaroslav's hda-analyzer provides a
better interface (GUI) for such a purpose.

See Documentation/sounds/alsa/HD-Audio.txt in the latest kernel git
tree.

There could be some list of pin ids and flags or sequences.
At least, *.INI contains a sort of things like that.
