Thanks.  This looks really incompatible with the existing VIA codecs.
So, no wonder that you didn't get it working by a simple hack.

Right now, VIA codec parser assigns the DAC based on the fixed list
instead of parsing the widget connections.  There is a room for
improvement here, but I have no time as now to fix it...

Harald, do you know anyone who can help the development for this new
codec chip?
