I tried, but without much success [2] - I came up with 0x01111xxx, but I 
do not have enough understanding on what to put as the last 3 numbers. 
Moreover, I keep getting this upon trying to apply the new pin 
configuration:
# echo 0x17 0x011111f0 > user_pin_configs
# LANG=C pasuspender echo 1 > reconfig
echo: write error: Device or resource busy

Here you go. playing.txt is the state when sound comes out of the 
spdif/side pin, and the center-lfe-half-volume.txt is when the volume is 
reduced to 50 % afterwards.
Please keep in mind that if you enable 6-channel sound with alsamixer, 
the volume on center/lfe-mic jack will be reduced too 
(8-channel-half-volume.txt)
