How many codecs really require SET_PIN_SENSE? I have never had a problem 
with omitting the SET_PIN_SENSE command.

Btw, I made convenience script for doing this a year ago. Here it is again.

To install, you put it right next to the hda-analyzer py files, as it 
makes use of hda_codec.py from hda-analyzer, then run "sudo 
hda-jack-sense-test.py -a" (see -h for switches to set codec and card 
indices).

Let me know if you're interested in having this small script in ALSA 
upstream, and if so, what I should do to get it in there.
