The sequence number is the point.  The driver assumes that the pins
are ordered as front/CLFE/rear/side.

But, currently the multi-io assignment doesn't check the sequence
number (because that number refers to the sequence of input pins).
The extra channels are assigned in the order of widget NIDs (first
from line-in pins, then mic-in pins).  Its logic assumes that there
are at most two valid input-pins.

That being said, you'd need to modify the driver anyway to make it
working properly as I mentioned early in this thread, if a certain
channel-map is required.
