You can reassign pins via sysfs and let the driver reconfigure.
See $LINUX/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt for details.  The
latest version is found at below, too:

But, I guess there is no any other channels (if you are speaking about
PCM).  ALC262 barely supports multi channels.  Or, if you are looking
for other active I/O pins, then you can poke with hda-verb, too.
