Looking at the various alsa-info.txt files I've sent, I think I know 
which crucial mixer control is missing in kernel 3.4, causing me to not 
have sound - "Front". It's there with kernel 3.3 and controls 
volume/mute of both speakers and headphones (the "Headphone" control 
does nothing). It's not there in kernel 3.4, with or without patch.
