also, my alsa-info after now: 
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f7de54b96d1cb50391d638e3bc687730daf17a2f

so there now is a new "Alt-Analog" playback device:

before:

!!Aplay/Arecord output
!!--------------------

APLAY

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

ARECORD

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: ALC892 Alt Analog [ALC892 Alt 
Analog]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

now:

APLAY

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

ARECORD

card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: ALC892 Alt Analog [ALC892 Alt 
Analog]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


So I tried adding a second module-alsa-card:

$ pacmd load-module module-alsa-sink 
card_name=alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.2
Module load failed

(changed the .0 to .2 because thats the Alt Analog right?)
