As far as I remember it didn't work...

Sorry but I don't understand, what changelog? Everything I have changed is 
in patch file.
The problem was with 3 things:
1) the hp jack is 0x09 not 0x0f (0x0f has to be set to vref)
2) hp_nid was wrong, it has to be set to 0x06
3) in 6ch mode surround output (hp jack output) 'jumps' to line-in jack, 
leaving no output in hp jack
What else should I write?
