Alexander,

yes, this is it!
With this hint (hint.hdac.0.cad2.nid10.config="misc=1") I now get
playback from both front and back. Also, I just tested that 'mic' record
source corresponds to back connector and 'monitor' to front connector,
both work ('line' is not tested).

One minor complaint is that there are the following knobs for mixer:
$ mixer
Mixer vol      is currently set to  92:92
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  93:93
Mixer speaker  is currently set to  30:30
Mixer rec      is currently set to  45:45
Recording source: monitor

Because there is no volume control for mic or monitor, program like kmix
display only "outputs" panel and there is no "inputs" panel. Because of
that I can not switch recording sources via gui.
But this is very minor.
