Bug#536340: [Linux-2.6.30-1-amd64] No sound out of the front jack

[Marco Mattiolo <marco.mattiolo@hotmail.it>]

Got the solution.

Following this guide 
http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6376&start=0
I tried all the snd_hda_intel options related to my sound card.
I got front jack working with
modprobe snd_hda_intel model=dell-bios
(which I then added to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf)

Now the matter is: should it be the right behaviour of linux/alsa,
to let the user try all this options after days of googleing?
Could we hope to see a well-done self-recognising sound card tool soon?

Really thank you, max!
I'll also posto the solution to the alsa bug.
