With 2.6.21-rc6, surr and center/lfe remain silent, regardless of alsamixer 
setting. When I patch ad1986a_3st_init_verbs out, it works.

Another related bug is above:

I guess writing 0xb000 is not enough, as the lower 6 bits are gain value. Or 
does the gain get applied somewhere else?

Well, I am not sure how to read the specs:

0x0f Chooses the mic inputs betweeb the MIC_1/2 and C/LFE pins. Contains the 
mic gain boost amp.

0x10 Chooses the line in inputs between the line in, surround and MIC_1/2 
pins.

I think with those NIDs you actually select between "I want line in" or "I 
want surround out" and whatever.

I remeber having troubles capturing sound via mic in or line in using audacity 
alsa driver. I only managed it with audacity oss driver (with alsa oss kernel 
emu). I guess this is related to wrong setting of above NIDs?

This works, I get sound.
