Unknown codec is probably software modem. It is unsupported.

It may be HDMI or may be some other port. Your codec supports two analog 
playback channels and three recording ones, one HDMP playback and one 
recording. More information about real routing you can find from verbose 
dmesg output.

monitor is probably a built in mic, mic is an external mic in and mix is 
sum of all inputs.

Looking to your codec datasheet I can see that two first recording 
channels are mixed and third is multiplexed. Which channels will be used 
depends on pin configuration. Mixed more likely will be used first as 
they have smaller IDs, but digital mic port (this may be your buit in 
mic) can be routed only to multiplexed one so it may pull some other 
other input with it.

In case of mixed recording you can't select recording source at this 
moment, but should be able to mute them independently by setting their 
volume to 0.
