Well, it kind of works:
* I was able to assign 0x01011013 to pin 0x17 using user_pin_configs
* it then shows up in hda-jack-sense-test.py, which detects if the jack
is connected
$ sudo python hda-jack-sense-test.py
[sudo] password for julas:
Pin 0x17 (Black Line Out): present = Yes
Pin 0x18 (Black Mic): present = No
Pin 0x1a (Black Line In): present = No
Pin 0x1b (Black HP Out): present = No
* for some reason this program started locking up after showing the
output, I am not sure if this is related.
I then applied your patch on top of Fedora 3.1.1 kernel (crude patch
attached). After reboot:
* hda-jack-sense-test.py was still working, without lockups this time
* alsamixer -c0 revealed a new "Front" slider, which was controlling the
volume on 0x17
* there was still no 8-channel mode (probably related to what you wrote
below)
* there were more options for auto mute (Disabled, Speaker Only, Line
Out+Speaker)
* here is the new alsa-info.sh:

I can indeed turn off the red light by muting the S/PDIF item in alsamixer.

I am sorry, I am afraid I lack the knowledge to do that. What I can do
is test patches and commands, but writing new code is beyond my skillset.

Simply changing this pin to out and unmuting it did not work (this is
the way I discovered 0x17.
