How about those dell xps notebooks which have dual headphone jacks ?

can you describe more detail about the reconfiguration since I try to
solve the problem of asus M2N ad1988 with 3 audio jacks(green, blue
and pink at rear panel) by the auto model instead of "3stack" model?

https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=63240

the current implementation  of the "3stack" use  3stack_init_verb to
retask the blue and pink jacks as output and  the rear mic is not
working

This is quite common for those MATX motherboard with 3 jacks at rear
panel (e.g. hda-emu/codecs/alc662-intel-d945gclf2 )

when switch "channel mode" to 6,  alc_hp_automute() does not mute the
retasked blue and pink jacks
