How about SIgmatel/IDT codecs ? e.g Intel Desktop Board D946GZIS

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/820092

Why there is no "channel mode" switch ?

How does PA server change from "stereo" to "surround40" or
"surround51" profile ?

Refer to Documentation/alsa/HD-Audio-Controls.txt

SIgmatel/IDT codecs

* Mic Jack Mode, Line Jack Mode, etc
  These enum controls the direction and the bias of the input jack
  pins.  Depending on the jack type, it can set as "Mic In" and "Line
  In", for determining the input bias, or it can be set to "Line Out"
  when the pin is a multi-I/O jack for surround channels.
