That function simply returns the index into the array spec->pins[] that
refers to that pin NID.

Judging by hinfo_to_pin_index() (e.g. used near the start ofhdmi_pcm_open),
that same index is valid  for spec->pcm_rec[] too, which I assume will
give you access to what you want, possibly through the .stream[0] field.
